First one is probably about Ze for different systems.

The rest are multiple choice, make sure you have regs book and osg with you.

1.do you know what a volt stick is?
2.do you know how to use the volt stick?
3.what would you do if your volt stick fell down the toilet?
4.would you know how to change the batteries in your volt stick?
5.do you also know how to use a socket tester?

But what about the rest? You won't pass without answering them all! Seriously though they'll probably just ask simple questions if its over the phone, no need to worry if you're competant as you'll know the answers anyway

7.if you run out of condemned stickers what do you do?
8.most the time our sparkys fit a condemned sticker on TT systems if there is a time delay RCD because we don't know what they do. So do you know what they look like? If you do welcome to BG

I think it could be more sales orientated questions as oppossed to technical. As BG seem to be very good at selling rewires and cu changes for no apparent reason.




edit

Tel stole my thunder.... Nice one, great minds think alike.
