Of the many things I've done in life, I was also once an ASE certified tech. My certifications all expired about 10 years ago. Some things you learn from books (which is how I got ASE certs) and some things you have to learn from experience.
Some transmissions are hard to see the level on the dipstick. The tube can have fluid stuck to the walls, and it'll wipe off on the stick as you pull it from the tube. What you have to look for is a solid line across the stick. It's hard to explain in words. Sometimes I've seen it look like it's a foot past the add mark, but only on one side. Flip it over and there's nothing. That's the fluid stuck to the tube wiping off on the stick.
