2391 :(

[madeinengland]

well having been to college for the last 5 years (a degree at uni is only 3) i am finally about to take my 2391 exam. just thought i'd put this thread out there to see if anyone has any tips or better still answers of the questions:slap

As has been mentioned in other threads it's worth reading the Chief Examiner's reports which usually mention the use of wrong terminology (16th ed terms etc.), read the questions properly, know your statutory from your non-statutory regs/acts & brush up on your testing procedures.

The low (50%-ish) pass rate is more down to poor & unprepared candidates than difficulty of questions.

Good luck!

For this exam they like to ask simple questions kind of in reverse, so you have to know your formulas well to work backwards from seemingly random bits of information. You have to be well prepared to pass and know your way around the BRB extremely well. They will also ask questions on areas of the regs hardly anyone normally deals with, like IT systems - if its in the book, in can turn up in the test.

can you give us an example of this type of question that you got

You should be able to find plenty of sample papers on the internet. It's been quite a while since I did the exam, but something like Zs is 0.65 ohms R1 is 0.25 ohms, calculate R2 and Ze given 2.5/1.5mm cable. So calculate R2 as 1.67 times R1, calculate R1+R2 from that to then give you Ze as 0.65 - (R1+R2). It's straight forward enough but just not the way we normally approach things.
