Just a quick one to clear up a few do’s and don’ts for your exam day…
Do get a good nights sleep and arrive at your centre at least thirty minutes before your exam is due to start.
You’ll need a calculator with a square root function (in case of formula questions) and some photographic ID (passport, driving licence etc). As this is an open book exam you’ll also need to take your copy of BS 7671 (2015 – yellow book).
Your book may include…
- Bookmarks (eg post it notes numbered to indicate Chapters or folded corners of pages).
- Highlighting of text.
- The 2013 Corrigendum issued by the IET (Although I’ve never seen any exam questions based on it).
Your book can’t contain…
- Sample exam questions, questions or diagrams.
- Any writing in the regulations or any accompanying notes.
- Notes or diagrams or any content that may in any way advantage the candidate when answering questions.
If in doubt consult the centre when you arrive. They may provide you with a clean copy of BS 7671in order to complete your exam.
