[QUOTE="waynehayes, post: 154732, member: 4996"] Officially you are not allowed, and we were told that that invigilators can fail you on the spot if they were to find notes in your books. But there were a few in our class who made notes and got away with it. Having said that, if you know how to read the BRB, then you won't really need to look at any notes. The practical exams were fairly straightforward and revolve around inspection and testing. We had one 'big board' exam and than three 'small board' exams. The small were easy really: visual inspection (there are a number - 6 I think - of code 1 faults that we had to pick up to pass, Zs (remember the rule of thumb), and a small PIR board. The big board exam caught a couple of people out. Your examiner will stop you immediately if you do not carry out safe isolation properly, or if you do something that is deemed unsafe. The tests are all pretty straightforward, and there will be a few 'visual' faults such as undersized bonding etc. They can put various different faults on the board, and some of these can get the brain working, but think about them and they become fairly obvious - broken neutral conductors etc. If you have any more questions, post here and I'll try to remember as much as I can.
