Understanding and Interpreting a Manual
I’ve created some resources for understanding & interpreting a manual, and we went over it today in the live stream. The replay is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEeCU3bqimo and I will hopefully have it timestamped soon for easier review. Here are the PDFs if that’s all you’re looking for, though!

Livestream reminder & new resource
REMINDER: FINAL STUDY LIVESTREAM IS SATURDAY 3/26 AT 2 PM. Topic is Manuals & Wrap-Up. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/ZEeCU3bqimo
Also, our fellow NYS IT professional Cedric Pinder has made a new study resource for you! Please note that I (Sarah) am not affiliated with the new site in any way. Here’s what Cedric had to say: “It’s not where I want it to be yet but sufficient for people to get some use out of it. If possible, please share the following link with your subscribers: https://www.examsny.com/ . Please let them know the site contains practice questions, still a work in progress, still under construction and only covers the ITS 3 exams at this point in time.” Thanks for helping people study, Cedric!

If you haven’t tried the questions yet, here is the link to those. Keep scrolling for the answers!
Answers are available both as PDF and as a narrated video on YouTube.
NEW Flowchart Practice Questions for 2022
I compiled some new questions for flowchart practice this year! Please take a crack at it and I’ll add the answers later for you to check your work.
Also, here are the handouts from 2014 that I mentioned during the livestream. There are two separate files – one with the questions and one with the answers.
Upcoming G23 livestreams and how to watch livestreams after they end
Saturday, 3/19, 2-4 PM – Preparing Written Material and Logical Reasoning Using Flowcharts
Saturday, 3/26, 2-4 PM – Understanding and Interpreting a Manual and Wrap-Up
Note that if you add a reminder about these to your calendar, it may show up as 1 PM. That’s because daylight savings will happen between now and then – the streams will really start at 2 PM on those days!
Process for the next two streams will be similar to the first one – To join, just go to my YouTube channel (Toner Tutoring) and look for the live broadcast. I’ve also tried to link them above. I will probably start the broadcast around 1:45 PM with a countdown timer. If you miss it, all livestreams will be archived and available on my channel (hopefully in this playlist) and I will also link them here in the Videos section.

Hi everyone! Just a reminder that the first G23 study session livestream will be tomorrow, Saturday 3/5, at 2 PM. To join, just go to my YouTube channel (Toner Tutoring) and look for the live broadcast. I will probably start the broadcast around 1:45 PM with a countdown timer. If you miss it, all livestreams will be archived and available on my channel (hopefully in this playlist) and I will also link them here in the Videos section.
Flowcharts practice
This handout was created for a study session held at OSC recently. Please be sure to let me know if you discover any issues so they can be corrected for others! Note that flowcharts were previously on the G23 exam but not the higher grade level exams.

Please also look at resources related to Pseudocode for this topic. Even though Pseudocode problems are no longer on the exams, the same study skills and logic will apply to problems presented in Flowchart format.
