[CRAGS]

Well the day has finally arrived . Time to do some extreme revising. Good luck to all taking the exam today.

De briefing later on

hi mate
which question are u on about the one for three charicteristics of a low resistance ohmeter or the one for 6 tests why the installation isolated for 1hr

3 characteristics

 

[brucelee]

well i think i got two of them the 4-24v and the current of 200mA for the third i guessed and put ohms now i can see i should have put a measuring range of 0.2 to 2ohms is that right

 

[brucelee]

I worked out resistance of cable then went for Vd=IxR

Think the answer was 6.1volts so it complied.

The only 1 I didn't attempt was no.6 3 characteristics of a low resistance ohm meter. My mind just wasn't remembering that 1.

Glad it's over, I fell like I have a clear head for the first time in weeks.

Don't worry over the result, it's out of our hands now.

i worked out the resistance of the cable then from there was lost

 

[brucelee]

well guys i suppose all we can do is wait now and hope for the best but on my side think i have wasted the last 4 months learning thigs that didnt even come up it wasnt like any of the past papers or exam success
and the 8 week course at college was a complete waste of time and money

yeah mate we just have to see i know something when i have done the practical on tuesday i will be telling the tutor of what i think of his method of teaching as we didnt cover hardly any of what came up in the exam
good luck to mate i think its just a con because if loads passed last time then they make this exam harder to keep pass rates down

They would not let them out of ours till after a hour.. some went after bout hour half I took the full duration as I wanted to check some stuff over. Dont think it helped though

We were told that 75 percent out of our college passed the last one

yeah mate they are having a laugh there was one guy in our course who answered the last question and hes not sure we were tol 7 out of 9 passed last time and one of them who failed sat it with us i think this time 2 out of 10 will pass if they lucky

 

[danielc]

its a weird exam really funny how some people manage it 1st time but as i have spoke to some people they are on the 6th attempt tonight, bloody expensive by that time.

just have to do the practical now and at least i might have 1 part out of the way!

luckily my job doesn't depend on it unlike some others which must make it 10 times worse!

 

[Baal]

Did anyone manage to get a copy of the paper?

Nor mine job wise. Got my practical out the way was happy bout passing that. probably took to much on doing 2330 at the same time. But did not expect pass so will not be dissapointed if I do.

 

[Battlecrease]

I think it will be a re-sit for me I found it very tough and seemed to cover most things I hadnt revised I thought the second part of the paper was easier than the first why do they make the questions so ambiguos you have to read the qustions 4 or 5 times and then you are not sure what they are after and as for questions on IT systems whats that all about I`ve never even seen one !

 

[brucelee]

my job doesnt depend on it as i am a carer for my partner since she was left disabled, but i am hoping to set up soon by myself as i have already spent £5000 on Books, megger and other stuff courses i did last year 17th,2377,part p, 2393 building regs these i did ok at the building regs i got 100% after reading a book for a weekend the others i got over 90% This exam is a joke i have to do my practical tuesday and not lookig forward to it now. my mate who did these courses with me last year he sat the 2391 last september at bury college and passed both first time after 4 week course 1 day a week . where our course this time was spread over 8 weeks evening and i been studying since jan tried to do it with him but course was full by then and this was the first course they ran again since then so i will probably have to wait months before i can resit he told me if he passed i deffo would he as been phoning me asking things about things to do with this ad he is out there testing
I just think it depends on if you lucky on the day with the questions they ask

 

[Baal]

What was the question on IT systems?

 

[brucelee]

sorry mate cant remember now i answered that one dont know if i got it right though it wasnt like any of the sample papers i have and most of the questions was complete and utter b???????

 

[iceman]

frm wot you guys are saying about some of the questions, im glad my exam is next month

 

[brucelee]

hi mate,
wishing mine had been next month now, as the four months i have spent revising about 3 questions came up
the rest is i the hand of the gods i will be telling my tutor what i think of the 8 week course i have just done as complete and utter tosh want to use stronger language but not allowed think i might take up plumbing or do what most cowboys do and lie

 

[iceman]

it is a farce how thy right out the questions, i think they have court on to all the past papers out there floating about, so thy word em in a way we cant understand, as for exam success book thts garbage cos when describing R1 + R2 AND IR tests and so on, you need to wright out atleast 1 A4 size sheet to get full marks, in exam success theres a short papagraph i think C&G use this to throw us all off, something needs to be done. the only way to pass is learn GN3 untill you knw it off the top of ya tree lol

 

[GStueyXR]

well, to be honest, I do know GN3 of by heart... And can recite it word for word almost... Still struggled with 2391 tonight.

 

[brucelee]

hi mate
your right exam success is a waste of money and trees there are a few mistakes i spent 4 months learning Gn3, aswell as BS7671,past papers about ten of them including feb march this year oct last year, chris kitchers inspectig and testin 2 nic rubbish tosh books and osg,memorandum on electricity at work regs and gs38 and about 3 questions came up out of everything ive done at college and been revising

the C&g must spend months seeing how they can word it to mess us up

 

[brucelee]

when we get the results i am going to send them a email telling them what i think of there exam and its a complete con

 

[Baal]

Did anyone manage to get a copy of tonights paper?
I feel I might have a few disgruntled students to talk to tomorrow!

 

[brucelee]

no mate i thought about it but the lady who gave us tests made sure she collected them in i hope someone did so i to can have another look
