Hi

I gave my CK on april23 ,I started preparing for CS.I got a chance to do observership from june1st to 30th near Pittsburgh,PA. I havent taken my CS, its on july 14th.Can anyone tell me whether doing observership helps for CS, as my spokenenglish is far from perfect.Am very confused.

Should I take CS and then go for observership OR

Should I go for observership and then take CS.If I go ,will I be able to prepare for CS while doing observership,after doing observership I will be left with 12days for CS.Is 12 days sufficient for CS .

Please give advice.

Thanks

a havent took cs but i have read that with 2 weeks is more than enough so take the observership, PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH and at the same time study for the cs

Why don't you study for CS in June and take it in Jul. Observership will prepare you for CS.

do ur observership.....wen u r free for the day , keep reading the cs material throughout the month...practise everything with anyone...ur observership will help u tremendously for ur cs..will make the exam much more easier nd bearable....also 12days gap after o'ship is perfect...u can revise nd practise...sounds like a great plan.....personal experience....
good luck
