It's always been my opinion that the section numbers are completely arbitrary and should not be considered as a number sequence. Think of them as fancy bullet points. You can see it most clearly in looking at exactly what is in 101 and what is in 102 - the split doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you are trying to reason with it. Yes, the split is sort of easy/hard or more_basic/less_basic but actually it looks like someone just divided the list up in two halves! The point is, you are perfectly free to teach and/or study the materials in any order that makes sense for you. LPI does not dictate exactly how the training will advance, only that a graduate should know the subject matter of the topics once finished. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
