Got my results back. Passed each section apart from the underpinning knowledge. I thought that was the easiest section out of the lot since you have all the books in front of you. Like people have said before I think they could just be after the money. £60 for the resit, £30 admin fee and £30 marking fee. £120 for one section! Anyway rant over. Need to get it booked.

Unlucky mate.

You have to get 8 questions right out of the 10 in each section. For example, you could get 47 out of 50 right and still fail if the three you got wrong were in the one section!

What i recommend doing is getting 8 or 9 that you know are correct per section then moving on to the next section. If you have time at the end fall back and answer the remaining questions.

Also be wary when two of the multiple choice answers are worded almost identically apart from a word or two. I had a few answers circled wrong which i only noticed at the end when i was double checking my answers!

Hi all,

lots of valuable information here for the A.C.A test.

i am sitting mine next week can anyone answer the following questions?

in the underpinning knowledge does each section tell you which book to look in?

are there only 4 faults to find in the fault finding?

cheers in advance for the help.
