17th Edition SELECT

[Javitwitt87]

Hi guys my name is Javi I've been in Edinburgh 4 years and I think is time to get the 17th edition course as I was an electrician in Spain. I've the assessment on 8th of October. I'm doing a different exam simulator online and some of them are the same but others are different.

Just my question for you guys who passed the exam, are the questions in order, like the first 4 questions are in part 1 of the book, the next 2 are in part 2 and so on.

Or otherwise I can find the first question in page 300 and the next one in page 8 . . .

Many thanks.

Hey javi, well I passed mine about 7 weeks ago, it's ok just practice working round the book and yes as Richard rightly says it's in a sequence so you know what chapter you should be looking in depending on the question number. I found unit 5 and 6 a lot more difficult as these chapters cover a lot of pages in the bs7671 and also they are the highest percentage towards your final score so I would practice in those areas.

Good luck I am sure all will be fine, just practice

Theres a few free online mock/practice tests, google mock 17th edition test​, not sure about the sequence but it might help get an idea of the questions.
