The practical is my biggest worry to be honest, a couple hours a week isn't efficient to get proper skills. Finding a job as a mate or apprentice is proving difficult. What about for you?

personaly i fail the exam twice !!! aparently the City & Guilds want 2365 students to know more then the previous 2330 ... so wat i am seing , the exam is quite dificult it requiers a lot of mats... but not imposible to pass..

Do a maths course at your local college or get a maths tutor for a couple of hours a week I know people who did this and it really helped with maths

202 seems tricky with a 70 % pass rate required plenty of star delta type questions

Hi, sorry for the late reply. There was quite a few questions where you would have to refer to the onsite guide(cable calculations and conduit size to be used). I would also recommend that you read up on transmission voltages and star/ delta. There was a few questions on health and safety also. I passed first time however quite a few people in my class wasnt as lucky. Hope this helps
