I have just started my YCS level 1 too. I purchased the text about 3 months ago and read it before I purchased the exam to give me longer to understand the text.

There is very little crossover from the CSCS to the YCS - primarily as have the exam is essays. The multiple choice are also very specific to the text although some crossover in strength and power development.

I spoke to Brian Grasso a few weeks ago and there is only 2 others in the UK and Ireland that have completed it!

I'm waiting on the textbook to get to me, havent accessed the website yet beacuse i dont want to set the timer running! wow, only two people? More people need to know about this and get involved. Let me know how you get on with exam (and if possible throw some cheeky tips my way!)

Will start answering the questions this weekend and get all the multiply choices out of the way so can concentrate on the essays. Do we ever stop taking exams?!

Just got development essentials through today, il take my time to digest it before I crack on with the questions. Exams rule!! :lol:

Did you manage to attempt the multiple choice questions at the weekend Alex? How did it go?

I answered some of the questions but got easily destracted with the rugby on and football on sunday! Am attempting to get one section complete each night at moment! Will let you know how I get on. The questions are that bad- the answers in the book so was having an open book session. I should be finished the multipy choice within 2 weeks and start the essays soon after. Want to get it finished before end of July so dont have to worry about it while on holiday.

How about you, you looked at the questions?

No havent looked at the questions as yet, making my way through the textbook at snails pace because of the footy! Should be reading now but the Brazil v Ghana game is getting interesting! Il squeeze 15mins in at HT!
