its got it all. loads of people on here have done the test, some found it easier than others. most found their nerves were the biggest problem. if you are a working sparks, and youre prepared to do a bit of homework (as a refresher) you should be ok.

plenty of time so have a browse around.

good luck

sean,

Dont worry to much about the practical exam. It only involves pvc conduit, pvc/pvc cable, 2 way lighting and a single socket.

You connect a start stop contactor for a motor and connect some resistors in series or parrallel depending on the sheet given to you.

The guys from vetessas are sound and very helpfull too.

The written exam is a multiple choice which wasn't to bad. I dont know how much you remember from colledge but a little revision on basic formulaes wouldnt go a miss. Revise capacitors/resistors in series,parrallel and series parrallel but dont go to far.

every body passed on my test day
