the educational objectives. 100 percent

of the exam questions come from theeducational objectives highlighted in the

course material. The virtual class focuses

the review on the educational objectives

for the course.

2. Complete the reading and write out your

course guide answers for each assign-

ment before the virtual class. This will

help you understand the educational

objective highlights of the weekly virtual

review sessions.

Participating in the virtual classroom can be a

great resource for many struggling with stay-

ing on track with ARM study. You have a

forum to ask questions of the instructor, and

you have the support of your peers who are

going through the same experience pursuing

the ARM designation. Here is a list of tips to

help you get the most from your virtual class-

room experience:

1. Make a commitment to attend the class.

The live instruction will help you to

connect with the material and focus on

3. When joining the GoToWebinar class,

always enter your pin#, this will allowthe producer to un-mute your line for

questions. You can join the audio por-

tion of the class using either VOIP

(Voice over internet protocol) on your

computer (using a headset works best)

or dial-in by phone using the number

listed on your weekly conrmation.

4. Log out of all other running applications

(Outlook, Lotus Notes, etc.). I know it is

tempting to multi-task (cont. pg.4)
