Hi Marie-Claire
This worked for me:
1) As others suggest, I used differently coloured highlighters and small post-its to partially mark the edges of the pages for each chapter and appendix.
2) Then I used any sample questions with answers to go through the Regs and write out "the complete route" for each answer on a pad, e.g:
PART 4 PROTECTION FOR SAFETY >
CHAPTER 41 PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK >
Section 411 Protective Measure: automatic disconnection of supply >
411.3 Requirements for fault protection >
411.3.1 Protective earthing and protective equipotential bonding >
411.3.1.1 Protective earthing
That way, I could easily see the route to the answer when I revised. I always used pencil to underline the relevant reg in the book for the answer in each case - these markings helped in the actual exam too
3) I photocopied the contents pages for each chapter and sellotaped them together until I had a WiringReg-tastic spread I could see in one glance, and used this to eye my way to the relevant bit where the answer was when revising the sample questions (with described route).
I found this really useful as I was to lazy to battle my way through reading let alone learning the whole Regs. The "writing out the route" bit was the time-consuming part, but it was well worth it for me as it graduallly helped me find things quicker and even helped me understand some of the rationale behind the arrangement within the Regs.
Also, I ended up putting the odd little note here and there on the contents pages for trickier subjects to find, e.g. on the contents page for Part 4 (p.42) by "443 Protection against overvoltages of atmospheric origin or due to switching" I pencilled in "Minimum Impulse Withstand Voltages - p.85" .
Other pages I marked so I could find extra quickly were p.48-50 (For Tables 41.2 - 41.5) and p.54 (For Table 41.6).
Good luck with the exam!:cheesy:
