WA State Exam

[resistance]

Need a heads up on rather the WA State Admins exam has questions on taxes?

Also, I head that the major calculations section has a 2 hour limit for four questions??Is this part that hard?? If you have the four post them, or send it to me in private.

Also, I keep hearing that the DLC are confusing. Maybe we should have our test examined (audit the test for review).

Thanks for your help!

I agree it is a tough 7 questions and it should be at least 21/2 hours. No one will let you know which ones you missed or got right. I have one that I think I missed, if anyone could help with it, I would be grateful-
