Sorry to sound rude but if you cannot pass that practical exam i wouldnt bother trying for the written
The practical in my opinion and everyone else in my class was that it was highly easy, it does help to have some background knowledge of inspection and testing
Good luck for your future exams/resit

Sorry to hear that mate, it does tend to require practice which can be difficult if you are not testing regularly.
However it is an easy one to redo, so practice testing and inspection, get confident and give it another go.

Well i passed assessments 1, 2 and 3. When it came to assessment 4 (a full periodic inspection & test) to prove dead I just got a mind block, didnt know where to put the probes, cos everything seemed to look upside down, I managed to eventually prove dead after 15 or 20 mins which should only take a couple of mins. I clawed back time because as I was doing a great job with continuity, ring final and insulation resistance tests and I felt very confident. Then when it came to live test Ze, again I just fell apart, mind block and again everything seemed to look upside down. As I looked confused and was taken a long time he decided to stop the assessment.

Just keep practicing till you really know what you want to do with the board.
Now you have been through the test rig you can remember what was there and how it was laid out and plan from there.
I panic in exams and found it really difficult to concentrate on the required tasks.

Hi mate for the Zs tests just measure the circuits with socket outlets all the rest you can calculate from Ze + (R1+R2)
and the Ze of your single phase baord is also the ZS for the sub circuit from the 3 phase baord to single phase and for the single phase when doing Ze dont disconnect the earthing as this isnt the true Ze is only at origin ie the 3 phase board whichever is the highest from L1-E L2-E L3-E
tro calculate Zs for single phase circuits
use Ze +(R1+R2 sub) + (R1 +R2 single pase circuits )
