Top Exam Board Tips
- In the practical assessment, narrate your actions clearly to the assessor, explaining why you choose each test or tool—this demonstrates underpinning knowledge.
- Always prioritise safety and ESD protocols visibly during tasks; assessors will deduct marks for missed steps, even if the repair is successful.
- Prepare a portfolio with multiple repair case studies, including before-and-after photos, diagnostic logs, and customer sign-offs to showcase consistent competency.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Failing to back up or secure customer data before commencing repair, leading to potential data loss or breach of GDPR.
- Misdiagnosing power-related faults as battery failures without first testing charging circuits and connectors with a multimeter.
