Level 1 and Level 2 Certification

I am preparing for level 1 and level 2 all on the same weekend....Some
questions that i have any help would be appreciated...

1) EZI-65 will this rocket work well for both levels.
2) What is the best way to study for the Level 2 test.
3) What size and make of reloadable motor should be purchased mm...
4) Finally what size reloads should i use for both launches.
5) Will a simple motor ejection parachute work.

Why the same weekend?  What's the rush?

1- Perfect for L1, will work for L2 but with caveats (see below)
2- I just memorized the answers from the NAR site
3- Cesaroni Pro38 probably the easiest to deal with,  Aerotech 38 mm
hardware will work fine as well.  I've never used Loki, but some
people like them.
4- Two-grain Cesaroni H or AT H123 for L1.  Minimum J for L2.
5- Yes, but even a minimum J will push an EZI to about 3500 feet.
Unless the winds are very light recovery could be a hassle depending
on the field.  It's doable, but wouldn't be my first choice.  I did L2
on a 5.5 inch rocket with motor ejection.  Altitude was about 2000
feet.

Good luck.
