Subject: Grade III Distribution

I took my grade III water Dist. exam July 10, 06 and passed getting a score of 84%. I want to thank AceOps and Steve Moehlmann for the math review and practice test before hand. These were very helpful in passing this exam. On Aug. 11 ,06 I will be taking my Grade III water treatment exam. Will let you know the results when I get them. Thanks


I got the results of my grade III water treatment exam back by email ..., thought I would pass this onto you; could you please forward this onto Steve and Phil. I am very thankful to AceOps for the training CD.

Once again the math class I had a month ago with Steve made a big impact, his encouragement and him telling me that I was ready for my grade III in water treatment gave me confidence in taking the test.

Thanks

Note:  Grade III exam score was 92%
