--- Quote from: ericpratt13 on Jan 12, 2010, 12:51 ---Second, the two jobs I am testing for is a Aux Operator Entry Level position (POSS & BMST) and a Distribution Systems Dispatcher 1 position (SO/PD), both at EXELON-COMED. Can anyone tell me if one of these positions is more promising in the company or in any other way than the other?

--- End quote ---

I have seen people go from Aux Operator to manager, I know of an AO that left to go be a load dispacher, I know a supervisor at ISO/NE that worked up from load dispacher and makes a very good living.

Promising is what you see - success is what you do....

I have been contacted and asked to take the SO/PD text for a job application. I have received practice test information and have gone through all 5 parts of the exam. I was wondering if anyone had other practice test banks, or materials I could find or purchase to aid my successful passing of this exam? Any and all help would be appreciated.

DSO:
1) conversions 2) basic math/algebra 1 3) sequences 4) section on if this or not this which statement is true 5) basic electrical including some dc voltage dividers are the 5 sections from what I can remember and the hardest where sections 3 (only as the sequences got harder toward the end) and section 4......both of which you really cannot study for. I was done with plenty of time left in all sections except number 4........you really cant study for this exam....if your some sort of electrical rate Nuke you should blow it away. First Energy (which I have worked at) or Excel job?

hawkbr:
I am currently an operator at a DOE facility and am looking to further my education and career in the nuke world. A lot of the current job openings I find require these tests to be passed before anyone will look at me. Does anyone know how or where you can go to test on these? I'm finding plenty of practice tests and study info but is there anywhere for the real deal? Having no luck... thanks

Starkist:
Since no one answered this for you in 4 days, Ill help you. This question has been answered many times. So much so, and to such a degree that I implore you to search to find answers applicable to yourself. 

Most common route is to get invited to take the test by a utility, but apparently community colleges offer it too.
