Work it, don’t read it.
Ten situations from the working end of the trade. Each one runs in six steps and asks you to make the call before it tells you anything. Nothing reveals until you choose, a wrong choice tells you why it is wrong, and asking to be shown the answer costs you the solve.
Audio, video, lighting. The trade that travels with you.

Close out the tier.
Twenty-one questions drawn from a pool of thirty-four, every one of them from a mission you have actually worked. Seventy per cent to pass, and it can be retaken.
