Record result and remove temp link.

As shown on page 217/218 NICEIC Inspection, Testing, Certification and Reporting.

Hi

Also if you want to include switch drop, still test at ceiling rose with light switch on. Use Switch live, Neutral and earth. Then you get longest path of Live.
Malc,

how/why would you use three leads to test R1+R2
