Send us a textHello there again my friends and fellow future funeral professionals!Firstly, here is the link to the  Quizlet I used to put this audio study guide together for you guys of the various facial profiles necessary for RA:Creator:HollyslobodnikLink:https://quizlet.com/935661967/ra-color-theory-comp-exam-review-flash-cards/This episode is a relatively short "crash course," much like my facial profile one, that is targeted strictly towards understanding Color Theory and its applications to the NBE and funeral service. This section of RA is absolutely VITAL to passing your Science section of the NBE, as they have MANY various questions that are obscurely centered around (and many direct ones, too) your understanding of Color Theory. I will be looking for more Quizlets that cover this for y'all, as this is extremely important for you to know and understand. Sciences is so overwhelming and it takes a lot to gather everything I personally feel you will need to know well to hit that magic 75% - so please be patient with me whilst I play a game of "Catch-Up" here! :)Also: as I always say: GO REREAD YOUR DARN TEXTBOOKS! They WILL save your butt, I promise! You will 100% thank me when you're sitting for your exams- both of them! They wrote their exams FROM THEIR TEXTBOOKS! DO NOT FORGET THAT!The most important and useful textbooks (in MY opinion, of course) being:Your embalming textbook - whichever edition, whichever version.I had: EMBALMING: HISTORY, THEORY, & PRACTICE Fifth Edition. Please don't fret. You really just need to read you textbook that you have, edition doesn't really matter as long as we're talking a book from this century... :)Restorative Art & ScienceChemistry for Funeral ServicePathology for Funeral Service(HEAVY EMPHASIS ON EMBALMING AND RA! HEEEEED MY WORDS, I AM BEGGING YOU!)Now, as far as my recommended study materials, I'm a big fan of the D.E.A.D Program to help prepare test takers for exactly how they will format and word their questions. The creator, Dr. David Penepent PhD is not only a huge name in Funeral Service education, he also has rewritten the study guide books that haven't been touched since Taggart wrote them decades ago. He has dedicated his life to Funeral Service education, and I fully believe his tools are extremely useful!To purchase David Penepent's study guide books, you can do so by accessing them via the D.E.A.D website under resource materials and use my code MEG25 for $25 off of each book. Now, I have HEARD that the code doesn't always work for both books in one order, if this occurs to you please just do two orders- I think shipping is free anyways. It is not a single use code, so please use it as much as you need to, share it with your classmates, mortuary student pals...whoever you think is worthy of such a glorious, generous act of kindness from you!Here is a link that will take you directly to the page with both books available for you to choose from, or get both, and just enter in my discount code upon checkout!https://www.deatheducationassessmentdrills.com/nbe-review-manualAs always, thank you all so much for you continued support!Support the show
