The week was spend doing a lot of study, Monday was totally study, Wednesday afternoon was study, and Thursday was totally spend doing study.
The upside was that we did get to go to Kruger for a day trip this week Team A on Monday and us on Tuesday. While we didnt actually see a huge amount (we did see a herd of over 500 Buffalo which was amazing siting in the middle of them, and three Buffalo sorting out their territorial differences) it was great to get out of the camp for a day during the stress of the looming exam.
Wednesday morning we had an info session on what to expect on the exam, and anything else we had questions on. The reast of the day was then spend madly studying for the exam on Friday, with the result being a late rather late night.
Thursday was spent again studying another lond day and late night, with an equally early morning on the Friday for a bit of last minute revision before the test began. I felt that I had done well enough to pass, and we left the tests in the hands of our trainers busily marking them as we all headed into town to head back to the traffic centre and the next step in our licence and PDP application-pick up the result from our fingerprints from one room, walk to the counter 10 meters away and hand the form back in-all in all took about 2 hours, actually quite quick. After lunch in town we headed back to camp and got the all important results of the exam. I was pleasently surprised to find that not only did I pass very well, but also got the highest mark on the course by half at mark at 96%
Satuday I decided to head out on a game drive in the morning with the result that I again didnt get a lot of sleep as it involved an early morning, and then we headed up to Mahlahla for dinner and some relaxing. Sunday was spent doing as little as possible before the study again resumes on Monday for my assessment drive on Thursday, the second of our three major tests
