If your college is working to the 16th Yes.

We had a choice - The 302 and 303 (Level 3) exam papers were written to the 16th.

We were allowed to answer to either the 16th or 17th edition as long as we clearly marked which one we were answering to.

I will PM you now.

I have just finished my 2330 and started my 2391...

The testing required of you is fairly basic and you shouldnt worry to much about it. It's fairly easy to pick up. Best bet is as suggested above read the OSG and understand why your doing that test and what its showing you (a lot of qulified sparks and even a few testers I've met dont have a clue what the numbers mean). Check back through your notes and see where it relates. The most invaluable help I got was by asking my boss if I could go out the with the companys tester and watch him (even if it was on a saturday ans I didnt get payed ). If you can that might be your best bet of getting some good instruction from someone other than your college teacher.
