Keep hydrated , no big meals before the exam, bit hard that time of morning though, but don't overload your stomach.
And if there is a written element RTBQ (read the bloody question) properly .

I always have a smsll breakfast before any big exam or test like poridge and bananas. Have you got any last minute quick tips for the exam?

 

[ruston]

Well you have just said it with the bananas, they are brain food.
Ross Braun on the F1 pit during the race always ate bananas when they had to think on their feet.

Do it at accessory

And when rcd/rcbo testing test the test button last.

Test it last as in after the Tripping Times etc. So carry it out during the functional testing?

No, do your tripping times then as part of rcd/rcbo testing sequence you test the operation of the test button last.

Don't test it like this

How did it go?

How did it go?

To be honest not as bad as I thought. Ive got 3 hours left on my install to do the S plan and data points. All other cables/ circuits are terminated and connected. I still need to check the conductors and fixing etc against the spec.

Then on to inspection and testing / fault finding tomorow.

Would I loose marks if I use the wrong size crimps on the cpc for the swa banjo etc? Not really good with using crimps.

Aslog as it makes a good connection and is done correctly probily not. That been said a friend of mine failed his install part of the am2 due to using 1mm fly leads on the metal back boxes so who knows.

So are you able to stop the install midway through and carry on the next day?

Sounds like your doing good time

Yeah you get a total of 8 hours I believe so I cant do that over one day. So I try and get most of it done in one day then the other day is the remaining time along with the other timed units etc.

You have loads of time left. The s plan is very simple with the diagram, just wiring by numbers.

Good luck
