Am I the only nut doing all 3 schools?

Boogie Knight · Senior Member

There is no nobility in dying when you are spending at least $2,100. Two courses will suffice. Too many mixed messages and styles with 3. If you bought the 3 already, rock on. I wish you success. Determination and dedication is a great qualiTy of a leader. Something the department lacks.

Doing one school is more than enough...... Read the patrol guide with your spare time.

Yes you are. One is enough. To be honest I think you're actually hurting yourself doing 3. The patrol guide is enough material, now you're looking at 3 courses worth of material.

3 is crazy. 2 should be the max. If you do 2 make sure Rising Star is one of the ones bec of their different approach to the material.

Mike Jones · Senior Member

Doing three classes is without a doubt crazy and absolutely unnecessary

Ridiculous

I think you def have to do Rising Star coupled with one of the others...that being said with all three offering distance learning doing all 3 doesnt seem as crazy as it sounds... i def think waiting for the key to start in feb is a big mistake... you should have 202 203 204 down pat by now

eehhhhhh i mean you are getting all available questions and 3 patrol guides, however i would doubt that you could absorb all of the material

Oooh-yeah · Senior Member

That's insane. Questions are always helpful but there's only so much time you can allot and material you can absorb..

My captain was telling me he used the KSA Procedural Guide for Police Supervisors along with a class while studying for the LT and Capt exams. Anyone have any input about that book?

KSA.....Artie Strorch and his team been retired for years.... What would his crew know about today's tests.... With that being said, why would you even consider them? But out of curiosity, what's the first 3 digits of his tax #?

I wasn't considering anything, I was asking because I didn't know.

He has a 922 tax, didn't get promoted all that long ago.

I got you....Mr. Artie Storch is a good dude.. However, KSA was from the old days... Back in the days when cassette tapes existed... LOL

If you're doing all 3 schools i might have to EDP you lol

NinR · Senior Member

Its not about how many schools you do. Its about how much time you put in. If you have extra time put it all in one and keep reading PG.

Take one class and trade with other sergeants in your command...
