Evening,

Written test. 100% pass mark, not too bad, pinning down the specific ref number probably the hardest bit. Plenty of time to source allowed references.

Visual exercise / photos. Pretty easy, photos weren’t the best quality, and dated equipment in them. Some faults blatant some not so. With the coding C&G tended to be a bit more lenient as such.

Practical. A lot struggled, and failed purely down to the time permitted, two and a half hours. However if your ok with testing there’s plenty of time in the bag. The board is pretty small regards circuits. Also the faults are massively obvious. I do have a photo of the ’C&G test board’. I’ll try attach it.

Why’s it called BBB

Cuz it's big and it's Blue and it's a book, Crikey.

It was yellow and green previously

Never been Duo Coloured

I must now add after using my eyes on post #1 I did the combined 2391-52. I’m sure it will be pretty similar

16th was yellow I think and 17th green if I remember

Well I didn’t sleep last night, worrying about the test today.
Does anyone know if there’s always 3 faults or can there be more or less on the test rig ?

How did it go?

Not well

Passed all the theory elements, but cocked up polarity checking on the 3 phase, only did 8 points of the check not 10 gggrrr.
So got to have a resit on that bit, shame as I found all the faults and he’s said everything else was spot on.

@Diver233 . You could have more than one different coloured books depending on how many amendments were published during the term of the edition.

I know so when I did not understand the term BBB I think it’s understandable, but according to some on here it’s because I’m stupid.
Does the acronym change every time the book does so was the last one BGB?
