[Sparky_Ben]

[topquark]

Well done, at least you can relax for a while now. Hopefully it'll be congrats shortly. When do you find out?

 

[Sparky_Ben]

they said bu friday i should hear but got a message that the results are available but have been sent to my college email and i cant access them, so i am guessing i should hear tomorrow from them, thats right i can relax its got to be the most stressfull 3 days of my training to date.

Did you struggle with anything or have any reason to think you might have failed?

 

[trev]

I'm sure you'll be fine mate. Let us know what happened

What's the exam like, as i'll be doing mine next year.

 

[Sparky_Ben]

to be honest i didnt, fault finding went ok, found all faults in the time, i built my bay and it all tested ok and work more importantly and think i got a definate 25 out of 30 on the online exam so really no reason i should of failed?

 

[Sparky_Ben]

the exam is a good test of competance but make sure you can test your work and do it well, and a basic logical approach to the fault finding is all you need

 

[craig141]

sounds easy enough, just wanted an opinion from someone who had done the exam, cheers for the advice and good luck with passing your exam

 

[Sparky_Ben]

its not actually too bad, just follow your wiring diagrams and all will be fine dont let the pressure get to you

That is an excellent bit of advice Sparky_Ben, especially the "make sure you can test" bit.
My advice is go to the refresher day first, it may seem a wate of time but it can be very very useful especially if you don't do much testing on site

 

[Sparky_Ben]

I also did the refresher and for the sake of 2 days it is invaluable in my opinion
