[FONT=CongressSans,CongressSans]The questions, in the majority of cases, were answered to a good standard, providing clear detailed information. In general, candidates were well prepared for the examination and their answers often indicated a good understanding of the subject matter. [/FONT]
[FONT=CongressSans,CongressSans]There continues to be some areas which need addressing, such as names of documents and or test instruments. [/FONT]
[FONT=CongressSans,CongressSans]Reference to particular aspects new to the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations still resulted in incorrect answers.

General feedback
[FONT=CongressSans,CongressSans]
There has been a great improvement over recent series’ in the quality of answers relating to testing processes but candidates must include all relevant information when describing such tests. [/FONT]
[FONT=CongressSans,CongressSans]Part A of the exam, the 20 short answer questions, were generally well answered with the exception of document and test titles. The understanding of IP codes was the weakest area for most candidates. [/FONT]
