Patrol Guide Format Survey
Permalink  

Greetings everyone,

As many of you now know, Rising Star now has its own Patrol Guide (see our website for a sample of what it looks like). I wanted to get your opinions regarding your preferred format, so, when studying for an exam do you want:

1. The Patrol Guide printed on regular paper (8.5" x 11")

2. The "mini" Patrol Guide printed on 4.25" x 5.5" 

 

(Both guides would be contained in one large binder approximately 6" thick)

 

Thank you

Standard is much easier to read. Size sucks but much easier to read.

 The difference in size isn't that much. a regular binder with 1800 printed sides is only about 20% larger than a mini binder designed for 2500+ sides.

I prefer 8 1/5 x 11", small guide is nice but a strain on the eyes. Plus I only carry one section at a time. So 8x11 is not a big deal.
