Yes, this is my first attempt. Several of my co-workers are also studying
for it, and we've been meeting weekly to go over some problems. Another
co-worker just took it in May, so there's alot of support here.

I found chapter 4 pretty tough, but thus far all the material has been
quite interesting. I think it's a good text as well.

One of my co-workers took a 5B seminar with CAMAR in Philadelphia, and said
it was okay.....not great, not bad.

I'm concerned that we'll have a large pool competing with us.....alot of
people are going to need 5b to have 1,2, and 5B and thus 1 and 2 in
transition.

I found Book Quiz #7 in chapter 5 pretty interesting. I did a proof of it
because I didn't intuitively see that it was true.

What materials are you using to supplement the text in studying?

are from. Is this your first attempt?
