2391 - how did you do?

Just done 2391 theory, not too confident about passing. How did everyone else find it?

I think I nailed it tbh - will let you know in a few weeks


luckily a few obscure things i picked up on revising this afternoon were in the exam.

the scenario part was a pain in the arse tho!!

2 of the questions were the 'describe in detail' :|

and one was the fully labelled 15 point diagram of the EFLI path


was wlking out of the exam at 1hr 45mins

good luck to you, i got my fingers crossed

good on ya, well done.

wish I was so confident!!

while doing my 2391 corse, the instructor had prior knowledge that the exam paper would be based on an actual test, and it was, so we were lucky.

 

[uksel]

that's hardly fair though is it (not that I would complain, were the shoe on the other foot)

 

[ChristianG]

Is it true that on average only 35% of people pass the exam?

 

[uksel]

the percentage fluctuates depending on the difficulty of the exam and the calibur of candidates

i think the view is - you are either of the standard or not.

not we'll pass the top 40 or 50 percentile

october 2009 - 53% passed
august 2009 - 40%
july 2009 - 43%
june 2009 - 42%

What was the scenario this time?

 

[astropete]

as said above, my 2391 test was to complete a pir from the data given on the test paper, we were then given a question on volt drop on a shower circuit, ie a 230v supply feeds a shower circuit which is fifty foot away from the db, work out the volt drop, when 10mm/2.5mm earth was used, then on the same supply if a 45 amp rcd type B would suffice for a 9kw shower, we had to show all the values and state weather or not the circuit was satisfasctory to the then 16th. on the practical test we had a mock up db board with lights, sockets and switches, in which we had to do continuity tests, insulation tests and a visual test of thre dbs breakers, of which one had no markings, so it was deemed a fail, and we had to state FAIL, before the tester lets us go. if we had said pass then we would have failed the practical.
