[Mark2009]

Hi
Took my 17th Edition today and had my 17th edition book taken off me because it had to much information in it, is this right?

Also the computer wont tell me if i passed or failed as it kept crashing they will let me know monday.

Thanks

Sounds like a very amatureish operation to me.

Did you do a course with them?

Which centre did you go to.

Did my 17th edition with them and had page markers in my regs book that make day to day use easy, said nothing about it.

Mark did you have seperate sheets of paper stapled or cellotaped in? A guy I know said a lad was stopped and given another BRB becasue he had the IP codes taped into his book

Hi
What she was complaining about was the blank pages with wrighting on it and all ip codes that i had put down myself, when i finished all 60 questions, clicked finish then went downstairs to get my results, was told to go back upstairs to get results because there system had crashed, there was another guy sitting in my seat using my computrer.

He said to me what was all that about. I am going to take it up with OLCI Director, i felt i did ok.

Thanks

Well if your talking about the note section of BRB you can fill them up until your hearts content that is what they are their for Notes.

Which OLCO did you go to?

We weren't allowed to use books that had been annotated in our exam either, they had to be clean.

I was not allowed an annotated book in my exam either. To be fair, after 4 days of reading the thing you should know where all the info is anyway, and all the questions come in order anyway!

 

[jpmiff]

when i took my 17th edition exam,you could take in with you the a non marked BRB and the on site guide. No notes written in them apart from corrections.

Me too, books had to be clean.....as stated not dificult anyway to find your way around it

If the 2382 is delivered properly, then there should be no material in the book that would benefit a candidate without them still using BS7671 effectively.

What kind of material was in the book?

 

[J@mes]

we were warned that "post-it" notes or similar were not acceptable before the exam started!

 

[Mark2009]

Hi olci st johns street you cannot take in the osg anymore, in my book just the norm and to be honest i was told by the tutor i can write what ever i want in the book even the answers but cannot stick pages in the book.

Anyway how are people find the job situation now.

Regards

Mark

They're allowed. It's the content that's possibly not. I had C&G in to assess my own training centre so I showed them our guys undertake a gola exam. I was concerned about this specific topic so showed them one and it was more than acceptable.
