Shroud of Secrecy...

Having been to SFAS I will say this. Its not a shroud of secrecy as much as it is guarded gate. SFAS is where ones prospective SF career either begins or ends. It is also where ones reputation, whether good or bad, begins as well both with the cadre and your fellow students.

SFAS is a test and should remain one which the candidates only have vague knowledge of the subjects they will be tested on. Knowing the questions gives candidates an unfair advantage by removing the stress designed into the course. That being said, it is my understanding SFAS is constantly changing. Information gleamed from someone who went years to months ago may very well be useless. Trying to G2 SFAS is also an integrity violation and noone wants someone on their ODA who's integrity is questionable.

I venture to say everything a candidate needs to prepare for The First Test can be found here on PS.com.

my .02 and well worth what you paid.
