August 2391-10 taken today

[Richard Burns]

Hi
I have just sat the 2391-10 exam today and I am running it through far too much in my mind.

So thought I would post.

Did any one else do this and what did they think?
I got stuck on some grammatical errors in the questions but overall felt it was fairly typical, hopeful on a pass but just have to wait and see (for ages).
Messed up an 8 point question not seeing the wood for the trees and putting in too many instrument tests (is an approved voltage tester an "instrument?") but overall I think it went well.
Good luck to all who took the exam.

I ran the exam tonight and previewed the paper. I thought it was one of the easiest we have seen for qute a while.

Hi i took 2391 last nite, its now 6am brain gone to mush can`t remember anything,
just know i felt good when i came out.

@widdler Oh dear that means the pass mark will be quite high and I messed up an 8 mark answer.

I felt that the questions for A were pretty standard, nothing fancy; fairly sure I dropped at least three marks due to not remembering the precise wording on a specific paragraph in GN3! and a couple of forgetting bits.
Section B I felt was OK but there really wasn't enough clarity on the circuits to be able to refer to them with ease in the answers. The questions were fairly clear cut but I could not work out the marks for one of them and got bogged down for half an hour trying to add things to the answer and got it wrong.
My calculation of IR gave 2.11Mohm which gave me a lot of hassle thinking I was wrong (which I might be) as it is theoretically according to the regs totally fine (just).

Just sat it myself last night I also put voltage indicator yes! And rt was 2.11ohms which requires circuits to be tested separately well that's what I put!

 

[parker56]

well its just the long waiting game now

 

[johng36]

It was a tns system ? Head not working keep questioning myself lol

 

[parker56]

correct

 

[parker56]

hi do you remember anything from the paper?

 

[johng36]

Not alot lol as I remember I will post!

 

[johng36]

It's going to be a long wait! Keep thinking did I put that and did I state that!!

 

[parker56]

hi lads, also sat this exam last night, to be honest i thought it was fairly easy. The only one question i had to go back to answer as my mind went blank was question 2 about:

What 3 curcumstances would you require a minor works cert. lol

Of all the questions that got me.

Oh and on section B, state 5 items that you would check on the new install of the stell conduit/trunking before putting cables in.
I put check bend radius
check for appropriate use of inspection bends
Check for burrs on end of conduit/trunking
Check the capacity of the containment is adequate allowing for air gap
Check fixings, i.e sadles are secure and collectly spaced

Hope im on the right lines with that one, other than that i revised pretty much what was required.lol

Seems lots of people dropped marks on the simple Insulation resistance calculation in my group any how.

Good luck to all hope we all get the results we need

I did the August exam and like all of you are now playing the waiting game with fingers crossed, good luck everyone who took the exam. See if i'm as happy in a month or so time when the results come out.

I put same answers for the containment question, oh I remember 1 question was name 3 items of an installation where polarity check would be done not including skts
