Snipes gave a very good explanation of the tests in this thread; he graduated RTC back in March, so his info should be pretty current.

I'm not book smart at all (Hooyah HT's lol) and even I scored above a 4.0 on all of them. Just watch out on that first test, it sneaks up on you quick, and people fail it because they didn't realize they actually had to study to get the material.

Nuke to Nuke, the boot camp tests are EASY. Its all very basic and multiple choice. Exams in Nuke school however..... not so easy and it takes a lot of studying. You can do it though!
