    Default 17th Edition Exam

    Hi ,

    Anyone know if the exam board will let you do the classroom work at home and then just turn up for the exam .

    I've rang round and all the colleges are wanting 450quid for the course and then there's 4 days off work .

    Was wanting to buy the book , read some pass papers and then just do the exam .

    Any ideas ?

    if you are confident just book an exam and do your own revision/homework

    Well I could do it in an evening , but I'm still forking out nearly 500 quid, i wondered if anyone has just booked the exam and passed it , more to the point do they even let you do that ?

    I found the 17th a little harder than the 16th, although how hard can a muliti choice paper be? I know its hard times but iam sure people would agree its not just about taking the exam you can learn things by attending these courses that will benifit in the long run, my advise is to go on the course it can only harm your wallet, knowlege is priceless.

    Yeh , I appreciate what you're saying about hurting my wallet , but still the best price I've been given for a 4 day course is 445 pounds , the priciest is 569 pounds , this is for the full course .
    I did my 16th in 1995 , so apparantly I have to take the full course .
