...To begin with, if you want a remote hope of passing the exam, you will need as Cerebrus said an " end mill " tool. That's what I had in mind when I was talking about face spotting, but lacked the vocabulary, thanks Cerebrus ! 
Dood... It is Cerebus. Not Cerebro, or Cerberus, or Celine Dion. After the world-infamous warrior aardvark of myth, barroom brawls and comic-books. At least do him the courtesy of getting his name right; whether or not he's sober enough to say it himself.

Sorry if I mispelt
Cerebrus Cerebus, but this particular string of character does not mean anything to me so it's hard to memorize it properly, just like yours, that's why I prefer to call you dwagon because dwagon is a word i know, so I am unlikely to mispell it.
That said I think Cerebus is plenty capable enough of speaking for himself, if he deemed it necessary. It's not like he was a timid 5 year old in w heel chair that needed you protection....
I never heard you lecture anyone on how to spell
tggzzz which nobody can get right. Neither did I of course, but I was so tired of not knowing how to spell it that I eventually tried and found a way to remember it, in case it helps others... The repetition rate of the letters increases by one with each passing letter. So " T " is written only once, then the second letter " G " is written twice, and third letter " Z " is written 3 times. 1-2-3 times TGZ = TGGZZZ.
For Cerebus I guess it's easier. Since it looks like I get the end wrong, brus instead of bus... I can just say that it's like an electrical bus, I2C or whatever... easy enough.
At the end of the day you can't expect everyone to get everyone else's weird string of characters right, never mind every single time. I am 44 and here in 44 years I have never even once met a stranger spell my family name properly, not once. Even when I spell it loud to them they will write something else, because they don't really listen to me, they just write whatever they want to write. 100% of the people make the same spelling mistake, so I always make sure to explicitly tell people : " WARNING you have to write it THIS way not THAT way ".... but still, people don't listen. and do as they please.
So if people in my home country can't spell a French name, how can people on the web expect foreigners to remember lots of meaningless (to them at least) strings of characters ? It's just not realistic, sorry....
So I will keep calling you dwagon for fear of misspelling mnenXYZ, for example. And if if someone somehow can't remember how to spell "Vince" properly, I won't mind if they call me the frog instead, if they can remember that more easily. I am not fussed about strings of characters, I am more interested in the actual people behind those strings...
The spelling will straighten itself over time. It' show brains work... the longer you are exposed to something, the better you memorize it. Have spent 9 months on TEA now, and can remember a few names, of course the ones that post most often and have the easiest to remember (to me) strings of characters. Those with a more difficult to get right string, will take more time to get right, especially if they don't post as often as you do !
