Youngblood, the most important thing is that you provide proof of proficiency when called upon to do so.........Study Groups in PHA Lodges are simply to assist the Men with any work that they may be having difficulties with. In MY Lodge, if a Man can't make ANY study groups due to work, family obligations, etc., but comes in and is proficient in all of his memory work when he is called on, he will advance to the next Degree. While you are on this Forum typing, you COULD be spending this time studying your material with a more well-informed Brother! Log off, and get back to work...............Good Luck, Brother.................
