Who plans on taking the NOV 09 MK1 SWE? I know it's over a month away, but figured I'd get things started. 81 dinosaur points pre- exam... GL everyone!

someones proud of their slow advancement....

Needed sea-time, 3 land units in a row doesn't really help with that....

Unless they come out with a revised cut before then, I will be taking it. I am currently 21 on May SWE, so fingers are crossed.

Im studying for the upcoming SWE with the study guide that is on the MK Shop website. Question is if anyone has used it with any success? Thanks

It worked for me. I made 1st. 2 other guys i worked with used it too and they both advanced. good luck.

Don't study anything you did not get your self it will hurt you in the long run. Also only you will know if it is up to date or not.

You are welcome

ok this test was f..... up
how many took this thing?
i know at least 6 here in my neck of the woods!!!

It wasn't the most fun swe Ive taken. I was the only one out of the detachment and two cutters to take it.

I just took it, damn hard test. I studied everything I could get my hands on mkshop, MK1 eoc material, NEM, NSTM, EPM-E's, Personnel manual, you name it...it was alot to absorb. Guess I'll find out how I did in a week or so. Oh, 3 other MK2's took it with me. Good luck all.. Hind sight 20/20..I don't think I did that well..

it was easier the 2nd time around. but it still left me feeling like i should have studied more.

I do plan on taking it again in May, and I hope it will be easier then.

Remember, the swe is not supposed to be easy.. Yes, it was hard. I do not think that this swe was has hard as the May 09.. Hopefully I will just make it off the May list!

I agree, this one was easier. I am hoping for the revision to come out with atleast 11 more. I am number 29 on the may list.

That study guide on the MK shop is at least two years old now. Don't expect those same questions to be on any current test. It should only be used to show you HOW to study now. What KIND of questions would be on the SWE. The TYPE of material to study. That is why I hinted that some questions are asked backwards etc. Old question: What color are the sewer lines? New hypothetical question: What color are the bug juice lines? What color is not used to idendtify pipes on a ship. ETC. Learn the type of questions that they will ask, and you have recieved an education. Good luck all with your returns.

I thought the service wide was easier than in May, but I also studied a lot more...so we'll see how it goes.

Anyone else find out their raw score yet? I got an 88. Good luck everyone!
