Can I just study your
RDA Review Manual and pass the written, or do I need to attend
your RDA Written Review class? |
Over the years, thousands of individuals
have used the manual alone to help them pass the RDA Written Exam. It
really depends on how you learn. Personally, I learn
much better if I see things in a visual format such as videos and
slides, along with lectures. That is why I teach using
a lot of visual materials. If you are the type of learner
that picks up information well from a book, then the manual alone
will probably meet your needs. If you are like me, you
will greatly enhance your success rate by attending the RDA Written
Review Class.

If I order a manual
or video, when will my materials arrive? |
Materials are generally shipped
within 1-2 working days of receipt of payment. The materials
are usually shipped by UPS and arrive within a couple of days, if
you live in California. The quickest way to obtain materials
is with a FAX'd or phone credit card order - that way, we don't
have to wait to receive your check, before we can ship your order.

What should I do on
the day of the practical test and how do I get my rental kit? |
After you have reserved a kit
with JProductions, your rental kit
will be available at the test site, on the day of your examination. You
will need to arrive 60-90 minutes before your examination so that
you will have time to become familiar with your kit, obtain a pre-operative
impression, and watch the video that
we have prepared for you. We are there at the test
site not only to give you your kit, but to provide you assistance
and support as well!

How do I choose a good
rental kit company? |
Most all of the on-site
kit renters in Northern California have very good kits, and have
been providing kits for many years. We also all charge
the same rental fee. The kits all contain everything
that you will need to take the practical test. At JProductions,
our kits come with friendly and helpful staff and several services
and items that no one else provides.

Why should I choose
an on-site renter? |
COMDA does not provide any materials
or supplies for the exam. If something happens before
or during the examination and you need more materials or break an
instrument, etc., there won't be anyone available to assist you. Being
there for you with assistance is part of the service JProductions
provides as an on-site renter. Need more materials, extra
instruments, etc?? We provide them... no questions
asked!

and class dates? |
Yes, for examination dates, contact
COMDA,
for everything else to help you pass the exam, always check the
JProductions website (www.rdakits.com)
