Good for you Stephen. ![]() Three tips for you: (1) Read the Book (2) Read the questions Carefully, TWICE, before you answer any (3) Turn up for the Exam sober and hangover free I took my exams at the local RAF Air Cadets Radio Club (as a 'Guest Civilian') and when I was sitting my Intermediate, a few of the RAF Staff were doing their Foundation. They decided it was a piece of cake and went out on the Saturday evening, prior to the Exam on Sunday, for a "few scoops". Due to their TERRIBLE state the following morning, only one passed and four failed the Foundation Exam, which shamed them badly as Cadets as young as 12 passed it. That beer stuff is an Evil Thing

as I was told: the Foundation exam is not designed to be failed. There are no trick questions. As long as you have a couple of hours each week to study the book and try the mock tests, which is what I did. |

Perhaps not, but I know people who have agreed that it is VITAL to be very careful when reading the question as they do sometimes switch Polarity. I have seen numerous people go at the end of the Foundation when they realise they got a couple of question ass-backwards and therefore lost the points for them.Instead of the expected "How do you DO something?" the question might easily be "How do you AVOID something?". There's an acre of difference between "What causes TVI?" and "what do you do to avoid TVI?". Or perhaps you're so used to hearing about 13.8 VOLTS that it'll throw you if they suddenly include an Ohm's Law calculation based on 13.8 AMPS. |
