Ok so I was just hired by ricoh and I need to pass the mfp exams..I have never been good at test but have a high mechanical aptitude. I have till Wednesday to make the cut for a class in boulder Colorado. I'm currently homeless and using a friend's address and wifi. Being sent away will help me save money to get a place. But I keep failing these these test and I'm running out of time. So out of pure desperation. I'm asking if anyone in the Bergen county NJ area can help me pass them. I know it might be an issue down the line but I feel confident I can overcome those challenges when the time comes. Thank you in advance,I appreciate it.

Re: I need help
When did Ricoh start requiring per-admission testing prior to going to the Copier Basics instructor led class?Comment

Re: I need help
Look I'm desperate, call it what you will. I need this job and I need this opportunity.i cannot fail and my anxiety isn't helping at all. It's a 24 hour lock out when you fail the test and the clock is ticking. If I wasn't in dire straights I would not be asking. But I don't know what else to do.Comment

Re: I need help
Not necessarily so - I'm absolutely sh*t at doing written tests, I get palpitations, bad anxiety, sweats - but put me in front of a machine, with or without a manual, and I'll fix it - I've just done 44 years in the same job, so I must be doing something right

Re: I need help
Unfortunately, only you can pass the exams, I hate exams too, but always seem to pass them. I think you need to learn to control your anxiety ( says he who always has bad anxiety before and during exams). go online and try one of the many self help videos that help with anxiety etc. once relaxed, you may know more than you actually realise. Good luck.Tip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...Comment

Re: I need help
If so, it has been a change in the last 4 years. Before I retired I had been going to Ricoh classes for about 20 years and never once did I have to take a test before going to an instructor lead class. Now they did give a basic technologies test the first hour of the class that you had to pass go get sent home. For awhile they did have a CBT, Computer Based Training, course on color basics that each dealership had to have at least one tech take before getting their first digital color.Comment

Re: I need help
Sharp used to do a pre-test upon arrival, if you failed it was up to your supervisor to decide to send you home or stay in the class.
Nothing like getting a test first thing in the morning after spending 9 hours on the road...to New Jersey no less.....oof!
When I take online tests, I download all the service, parts, install, etc manuals before I start the test. You can leave these open in the background and use CTRL + F to find the terms being used in the questions. If you are asking others to do your test, probably not a good fit for you. This is not a "fake it until you make it" type of career.

Re: I need help
With Ricoh a lot of the service manuals for earlier models contained a Detailed Descriptions section. A lot of the basic digital copy process could be learned from that section.Sharp used to do a pre-test upon arrival, if you failed it was up to your supervisor to decide to send you home or stay in the class.
