Testing Statistics.. was Important Question

[David Ilvedson]

You know the way to practice for the test if your an ETD tuner is simply tune
the temperment with a fork/aurally and check with the SAT or equivalent.
See where your going off, listen to the aural checks and try again.  I agree,
that there isn't a lot of motivation to upgrade.  PTG needs to promote RPT status if is going to
have any worth to the public.  Then, of course, you'll upset the Associates...;-]
