Tips and common mistakes
Common Exam Mistakes
Pitfalls to avoid in your exams
- •Failing to verify the voltage tester against a known source before and after proving dead, leading to a missed safety check.
- •Using incorrect correction factors or omitting them entirely when calculating cable current-carrying capacity.
- •Incorrectly interpreting test results, such as mistaking a high insulation resistance reading for a fault.
- •Neglecting to update the consumer unit labelling after circuit modifications.
Top Examiner Tips
Expert advice for exam success
- •When completing written assignments, always reference specific regulations (e.g., BS 7671 Regulation number) to demonstrate depth of knowledge.
- •During practical assessments, narrate your actions to the assessor, explaining why you are performing each step, especially safety-critical ones.
- •Double-check all calculations and ensure you show full workings; partial credit is often awarded for correct methods even if the final answer is wrong.
- •Practice filling out Electrical Installation Certificates and inspection schedules, as accuracy in documentation is a key assessment criterion.
