[marc_jones]

I just thought id see who, like me enjoyed the pleasure of City & Guilds Finest exam tonight??

 

[sparky198]

Done mine a couple of years ago. Enjoyed the whole experiance (not!)

 

[marc_jones]

I dont think its much better now really! but i guess they say its only easy if you know the answers.

And if my gut is correct, i fell short of knowing all the answers.

I found the 2391 to be fairly simple. Possibly due to my high interest in the topic. However it is still probably my most rewarding qualification. I did the 2400, but that hasn't been a requirment to this date.

But I like obtaining qually's anyways

I did the 2391 tonight also, where did you take yours?

I ran out of time and didnt get to answer all the questions..

I pee'd about to much i think on the first 20 questions giving prob too much detail, then ran out of time on the last 6.

what PFC did you work out for the last question?

i agree with widdler i found the 2391 fairly straightforward - would like to do the 2400 just out of interest but cant find any local training providers

Near enough, but had to X 2 as TP&N

I think it should have been 1.53KA

I messed it up though by rushing at the end and put 1.533KA, kicked my self when I walked out the door.

As time was running out I didn't waste time drawing the 2 diagrams of the fault current path, as only worth 6 marks and I could of made them 6 marks up on other questions by writing 1 line answers.

I tried the exact same thing, but they wouldn't take there eyes off me

Above..

Didn't do it either, would of wasted too much time for only 3 marks each. I really struggled for time on it.

 

[iceman]

i think there was a question on describing insulation resistance worth 15marks do you think if theres one or to answers missing city n guilds will not scrub all the marks for tht question or mark it accordingly.

 

[iceman]

i knw for sure i lost atleast 25marks so i got another 25 to play with, i hope iv done enough, dont wona do it again

 

[TPES]

Hopefully not, if you get most the question right hopefully they will just take a few marks off and not get the whole thing wrong

 

[TPES]

How do you know you would have 25 marks left to play with?

There is no pass percentage rate

 

[iceman]

isnt it 100 marks to pass with 150 possable marks available?

 

[marc_jones]

Dont think so, i think its along the lines of the top 40% (ish) in the country pass and the rest lose sleep for the next 6 months!!

 

[Stu spark]

isnt it 100 marks to pass with 150 possable marks available?

thats correct you need 90 marks if there is a low pass rate and 100 if the pass rate is high. still waiting on June results they must be due soon. The 40 days is well up now. its beyond me how people can go and sit a three or four day course and expect to pass this exam

 

[TPES]

How so you know this, is it written anywhere?
