The rest of it is unclassified and you can take your study materials home with you and study as much as you want in your off time. And believe me, you certainly will need it as CTT1 said, it is a very difficult school. And some, including myself, that I thought would breeze through it got dropped.
There's no formula for knowing if you'll make it. And it's not that the material is that difficult. It's that it is so fast paced that it's easy to get left behind. That's what happened with me. I believe I could have made it through, but I failed one test and the class kept going.

What are my chances of passing for a CTN rate? I scored a 92 on my asvab. In my class I had the second highest score, but I got dropped and most of the others made it. JCAC will consume your life for six months, though. So buckle up! Should I get a laptop for A school? I want to give myself every possible advantage if I get the CTN rate.
They suck. I was on a working party where I once had to actually shred a hard drive because some guy brought his laptop into the scif. You WILL be caught. I promise. CTN's obviously will almost never deploy. I really wish I went CTR.
