just mailed off quiz # 4. learning a few things here and there. It's an excellent program! All SR Masons and all prospective SR Masons should take it, it was the best $35 I spent in Masonry since I joined TLR. Plus if you want De Hoyos' beautiful book, "The SR Ritual Monitor and Guide," at a book store I believe it's $70 by itself, but it comes with the program for $35.
I was actually mortified when quiz three was returned and with a photo copied page from M&D with segments highlighted referring to my essay and the several red marks with "Well Done" written by Art De Hoyos himself.... geeze having that guy critique your essay on any SR topic is like having Howard Hughs (before he went crazy, of course) critique your paper airplane... or like having Dr. Brent Morris grade an 12 year old's algebra home work for that matter.
Congrats Wingnut!!!

HA! Yes it is impressive who scores your quiz and essays. I had Dr Morris sign one of mine, Art DeHoyas and a few other names everyone here would recognize. Its a very impressive program for sure! In fact, I enrolled prior to joining the SR, but by lesson 2 I had put in my petition for the Reunion!

So would you recommend this for some one that is not a Scottish Rite, but thinking about becoming one?

Yes, absolutely!!! In exact opposite to the Craft lodge, the more you know about the SR degrees in advance the better.

there is a new index to the book available on the SR website that might make it easier! Congrats on signing up and taking this great program!
New Index Available for the
Scottish Rite Ritual Monitor & Guide
The Scottish Rite Ritual Monitor and Guide by Ill. Arturo de Hoyos,
33°, is a Masonic masterpiece. Since it was published in 2007, it has
become the source for understanding the degrees of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite as practiced in the Supreme Council, 33°, S.J.;
it is the cornerstone of the Master Craftsman Program correspondence
course. When originally published the Ritual Monitor and Guide had no
index, but that problem has been solved. Ill. S. Brent Morris, 33°,
Grand Cross, has prepared a 28-page index with over 2,700 entries. It
is available as a downloadable PDF at http://www.scottishrite.org/pdfs/monitor-index.pdf

I too have finised my 4th Essay and I am really enjoying the program. What I have found really exciting is Ronald Seale 33° S.G.C. AASR has been grading my papers. This is thrilling

Just FYI. I was on the Scottish Rite website and the new 2nd edition of SRRMG is now being offered for the Master Craftsman program.

I got my fourth Essay back and there was a nice note from Ronnie Seale about the Essay. I feel like Einstein just graded my 2nd grade math homework.

I am currently working on my 5th exam. Brothers, if you are not doing this program and you want to learn about yourself and how to be a better man, I strongly encourage you to look at the program. For $35.00 is is a great bargain and what you can get out of it is priceless.
