[brucelee]

you had a better idea on this one than I did you never know till you get the results

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

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

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.

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
