Northeast Utilites Exam for Juniors?

<< < (2/5) > >>

mlnevill:
I took it just a few months ago it was mostly detectors and detector theory.. it changes from site to site, depending on the instructor and how he selects the test, random or hand picked questions.

ageoldtech:
I also took the exam a few months ago and had 28 questions on detectors. The only gime I had was which instrament is used to set stay times.

Surveyors_mato:
Interactions.! And, with no offense intended to the supporters of this site, The study material here is VERY different from the test. Format, and language of the test are ( at least where I have taken it), nothing like what I experienced. I scored a re-do. All of the information is here yes but the presentation as I have heard from old time techs, is more like the old test format. Good for the test, bad for the Jr trying to make SR by self study.

the information on this site was very pertaining to what was on the test.  As a matter of fact, if you used the 10 (RP and NP) handouts to understand the concepts, then took the practice tests, then used the "cheat-sheet" like list to polish up on, you should get an 80 no problem.  I took it in Feb 05.  Are you sure you didn't take the DOE practice tests by mistake?  The NUE/NUF is very instrument heavy, and it also seemed a little nuclide heavy (understanding what nuclide is most important for the different situations encountered during ALL phases of plant operations).  Which part stumped you bad?

RRhoads:
instruments are only a part of the test...are there alot of instrument questions?
Maybe but i think people tend to focus on the questions that give them problems...i 've always had instrument questions but if you take this thing enough..you can usually choose the best answer. Iam not instrument guru..
Don't just study instruments & nothing else.....
Theory, math, & your formulas...have never taken an exam that was heavy on reactor theory per se but there are things you need to know..stuff you pick up if you've been doing it a while...but it's all part of package.
Good luck.
