Finally I am just about ready for this exam!

I just wanted to know if the GIA give you copies of tables etc (such as girdle percentage chart, weight correction chart) for use in the exam? I can't possibly be expected to remember all that - can I?? :roll:

Thanks
Lucy

Hi Lucy,
Yes you'll have access to that information. It's been a while but, I think paper copies of those charts are provided along with the exam. There's no way anyone (at least not a student, unless a savant) is going to remember all that information. The charts are pretty extensive.

Maybe Snizzy or some one else remembers the exact procedure better.

Yeah JB, you're right. They give you all the charts. I just completed my final about 6 months ago.
