This is important so you are not dependent on subject headings to act as cues. If you need cues while you study, then you will need cues while you test. But you cannot have those cues with you while you take the test. Sorry, but you will not learn as well if your cards are not mixed up while you study.

Suggestion: list the name of the chapter headings above the cards, so one can keep track. That would be especially useful, if you're reviewing the card groups out of sequence. Very helpful.

I took my certification test tonight and passed! I'm now a Apple Motion Certified pro! For those looking to take/retake the test: the book is good, but you're not tested on much processes. It's more interface/shortcut based. Be able to recognize the keyframe interpolation types, EVERYTHING about the 3D Camera navigation (local view vs. global view), and all the slang Apple uses. Frankly, you should read the Motion software manual. It's clearer than the book on a lot of points. All the same, Do the book, and then play with the software. That's your only hope. One time through the book won't do it. (So those paying $1500 for a class then test.... wait a week or two for the test and save the $150 retest fee. Or just do the book and save on the class. They are teaching off the book! You can do it yourself if you're very patient and don't skip any chapters or steps...) Again, Thanks for the flash cards! They helped me hone in on areas I didn't know, which in turn helped me out on the test (though it's a 50 question test, with 3-4 multiple "right" answers.... Know what a sparkler is... Behavior or filter?) Thanks for posting these flash card pdfs!
