t
tried to get all excited with the mrs but she gave me that ' not more of that electrical ****** i dont undertsand look' !! and didnt seem that impressed
im really pleased the exam was really tough but got through it!!!

Typical of a Woman
Mine was more pleased that she had lost 2 pounds at weight watchers

I remember it as being a hard slog and congratulate you on the pass
Well done to anyone who has had to endure the long wait for the results as well

the practical was ok
the theory was a nightmare
my scenario was for the long questions
there is an underground public car park with 24 hour access to the public
there is a ring for the office which includes computers and a LIGHTING CIRCUIT all fittings are flurecent and they are controlled by switches and photocells and pir's
all cable is wored in SWA on tray
and then questions on this
it was a bit ch
thankfully i passed!!!!

2 pounds is good
my mrs prefers slimming world and the odd cream cake!

best you can do in bury ur head in jelly then run naked in the street sgouting wibble with a pencil up ur nose
I wouldnt worry about the axam
ive youve looked over your notes then thats all you can do, if you understand the tests any why you do them then just put that into words only decipher it onto city and guilds language, using correct terms for the tset sheets
calling EIC by its full name also periodic inspection report, and minor works by its full name as quoted in the 7671
they will drop you marks if you give the slightly incorrect name for these
also in the long questions if they ask you for a test procedure and its workth 15 marks
if you dont mention safe isolation procedure they will dock you the 15 marks as classed as an unsafe procedure even tho you may have listed it perfectly only cocking up the safe isolation procedure
so just think safety all the time and 'bull' up your answers, ie warning signs barriers, informing public, risk assesments, blah blah blah, the usual c and g stuff they require
do all this and ul be fine dude!!!

just done 2391 theory exam, not too confident about passing. How did everyone else find it?

Not sure if we all sat the same paper, but I think everyone that sat it with me found it difficult. Even the guys that've got 20 years experience!!
Typical C&G wording (riddles!!) and not too clear. Was pretty trickey from the very first question.

42 days to wait for the results is a bit of a joke too!! Think I'll be booking in for the next time its sat.

Did anyone think they did ok?

hi all,
i am doing course from march 9th 8 week evenings. looks a tough exam to pass i been like a bookworm recently reading all i can from bs7671,gn3,on site guide notes from previous course,doing sample exams out of exam success pass is this up to date with 17th as in some of answers for details of inspection and testing they dont state use of approved gs38 voltage testers and proving unit or known supply any one clear this up for me please as i am trying to get the correct sequences and methods in my head ?? looks like i will have to study more and buy more books££££££

Just buy the Exam Success Book. Thats the best thing for understanding how to write answers, save time and be clear. There's also two exam pratice papers in the back, later with the answers. Totally worth the 10 quid or whatever it costs.
I looked at alot of the sample papers around and they are mainly to the 16th ED', they'll probably just confuse you talking about EBADS and the like!!

Hope this helps.
