Get your testing procedures straight in your mind. Remember most of them start with asking permision to isolate, safely isolate and lock off supply, pick the correct tester and check to GS38 etc etc etc.

If you know your tests well, you can pick up lots of lovely marks in section B.

Good luck

As above. Do lots of past papers to get the idea of questions and structure.

Memorize guidance note 3.

Relax, go to bed early and get a good nights sleep, if you don't know it by now now amount of last minute revision will help.

Much better to go in with a clear head

Hi there have a look on google,and search for 2391 chief examiners report from previous exams, they dont give you answers but they are very informative and give you an idea of the termanology and the things they are looking for. I found this to be a great help to me.

If you don't know (ie. have a working knowledge of it) by now then you never will. Get plenty of rest and try and be relaxed. Its open book ie BS7671 in any case so no point in trying to remember all the regs. Past papers will give a good idea of what to expect. Hope it goes well for all that are taking it.

It's not open book for the written exam, only for the practicle

Are you sure? I thought I had mine for the exam. On second thoughts maybe that was the 2391-20. I think they give you a photocopy of the tables etc that you need for any calcs.

thanks everyone, can anyone reccomend any claculations to practice other than Zs=Ze+(R1+R2) & calculating insulation resistance ? (done a few of them now)

good luck to everyone else taking the exam too

 

[training_spark]

any calculations you can reccomend re doing? :l

 

[revjames]

You will certainly need to work out PFC and the calculations associated with testing the ring final circuits.
