June 2011 2391 exam

[Richard]

Did any of you sit it? I didn't think it was TOO bad, couple of questions I was a little unsure of but overall ok. How did you guys find it? I can never think of the bloddy questions afterwards!

 

[IQ Electrical]

I might be wrong but dont you only need to do the 5 times test when you are testing a rcd/rcbo giving additional protection .so I delta N value of less than or equal to 30 ma ..

72-van

You're quite correct.

 

[72-van]

Yippee got an answer right

 

[sparks_114]

What made you think it was supplied by a private generator?

From what I recall it said factory generator so I read that to mean private which'd be 8%. I hope I'm right?

Did anyone manage to sneak out an exam paper

 

[72-van]

Not me !

but any other non c&g exam i have done in my life they allow you to take the paper away so that you can assess how you done .

 

[kennydeeee]

This wait for the results is gonna destroy me gonna get my head stuck into the pat testing maybe do that to keep me sain

 

[72-van]

Mate once you start doing Pat in the field its the other way around you 'll need something to be thinking about when your doing the Pat its mind numbingly boring repeatative and wholly unsatisfying .

One recommendation i would give anyone starting out -- get some good kneepads

If you need a help with the Pat stuff feel free to ask
I have just done the c&g after doing the work in the field for years.
Get a copy of the Cop if you dont already have it and memorise
Its a multiple choice exam ..what out for sneaky questions double negatives etc.
Loadsa questions which have absolutely no relevance in the field and precious little practical time on the testers.

I have a copy of Thursday nights paper if somebody knows how i can add an attachment (PDF) to these threads? Not to clued up on computers unless its fairly straight forward.

 

[NEV]

I think there's a ban on publishing past papers on the forum, however could you send me a copy by email?

 

[abingdonjon]

ok, no worries. I'll just reel off a few questions then and try to mark my own paper. Thought it was quite a straight forward paper compared to some practice papers.
