CEC Test

[corntoe]

I am taking the CEC written test in a few days and was wondering if anyone has taken it. I have studied and been taking the CEC test on eculinary.com and was wondering how alike the two tests are? If anyone knows please let me know.

I have beeen scoring 95 percent and up on the eculinary cec practice test. I have studied all my brain can handle. If the questions are the same or simular this will be a breeze. I have done the practice examine about 100 times so far and studied the prochef book

Chef chris,

when do you think you might be ready for the practical exam?

[corntoe]

I am ready now but I am taking a seminar with Brad Barnes on taking the practical exam, at the regional confrence this weekend.. Iplan on taking it local sometime this summer.

if i recall correctly he will tell you to type out your menu

as you would if you were to sell those items.state the type

of cuisine or origin, such as classical french or eclectic

etc...gather your mis-en -place,make sure all classical cut

are uniformed,i believe you will need to bring in your own

plates to serve your food,stay within your window,oh very

very important 1 infraction on sanitation they will fail you.so make sure you look sharp proper shoes and polished,cleaned and pressed chefs uniform.purchase his DVD on taking this practical exam.i'm sure it will help get you ready.

as for the list of ingredients you will be using in the exam, practice,practice and do more practice until you are able to do this menu in your sleep.

oh... by the way did i mention you can bring your own potwasher?

good luck Chef Chris CEC

I am back with great results. I scored a 97% on the written test this weekend. And yes the test questions are the same as the eculinary cec practice examine. The test took me a whole 15 minutes to complete. I have never been so prepared.

Off to the pracitcal now.
