Labelling your regs, tips?

[brucey2343]

Hi all,

Nerves are kicking in now, pre-AM2 is next week, AM2 the week after. I'm thinking its a good idea to post-it all the most common regs (max zs etc) in the blue book. I believe you're allowed to take your own regs book with you, unless anyone knows any different?

Does anyone else do this labelling thing? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best pages to label, so I can get to them fast in my online exam?

Cheers!

You dont think labelling is a good idea? I was just meaning for anyone who had sat it, if they knew which tables/regs would be called on most, i could refer to them quickly

In the past when I sat the 2382, I would use coloured labels for the different parts and chapters.
So, each chapter in a part would have a tag of one colour, the chapters in the next part would be of a different colour.

If it's for the AM2... you are not allowed to take anything in with you other than a drink, a jacket and your glasses if you need them. You certainly can't take any paper in with you.

And for the regs exams right now, you're only allowed to use blank post-it notes, numbered tabs and highlighting. You can't write in the book or on post-it notes attached to it.

aww man. Ive just done my 18th exam like 2 months ago too, you'd think i'd just be able to take in my cert from that, it's the same thing isnt it?

The AM2 on-line exam looks at a variety of subjects, not just the regs. You'll have access to various books and all the answers are within them.

The IET regs Updates are an exercise in how to read BS 7671 so it's not the same.

If I recall correctly you'll have access to BS 7671, GN3, the On Site Guide and The Electricians Guide To The Building Regs.

Some lads at my works took the 18th just before Xmas. They were allowed coloured tabs hanging out the side with ref to sections/important sections etc

I'm only going on what I've been told. You can put numbered tabs in, but you can't use written words was the guidance when I did my 18th a few weeks ago.
