Advice for 2394 and 2395

[Adam_glover18]

Hi there.
my name is adam and I have just recently come out of my time and my company is paying for me to do my testing and I want to get a head start and get some revision done before my exam in June. If any one knows any websites that has revision material or any advice that would be great fully appreciated.

Regards

Adam

guidance note 3 has everything you need. You will be highly recommended to buy it if you do the course so may be worth forking out the £20 odd quid now if u want a head start.

2394 deals with Initial Verification - New Installations

2395 deals with Periodic or Existing Installations

Cheers mate thank you for your reply I already have guidance note 3 from my am2. You would say that's the best place to start ? Which of the two exams would you say is the harder one ?

Agreed that GN3 is your best friend but make sure you have a decent grasp of 17th edition as well as they're prone to throwing in some general questions in that direction. Don't go too mad cos you could lose a lifetime burying yourself in 17th edition, but be as up to speed as you can. Do lots of past papers but don't make the mistake of only trying to learn how to pass the exam - if you do that and they set a paper that's some way away from previous years, you're up poo creek. My experience was they're very similar in difficulty. If I'm honest there's a lot of overlap between the two.

Is it the most up to date issue?

Try here:- City & Guilds 2391 Revision Questions

The link is labelled as the old 2391 but the on page text refers to the 2394/5.

There is also a chargeable simulator her :- 2395 Periodic I&T -

While the 2391 and 2392 questions are similar and provide good practice, be aware that (I think) the overall format and mark weighting of the 2394 and 2395 are different. Sorry if I already posted this, something went mammaria verticalia last time around.

Hi thank you for your reply pal. In a ideal world I would like to do that but I have a voucher from my training provider to spend on further training and I have to use it by June and work are paying so I can't say no lol. I do have some experience testing on my own but obviously not to the standard of a experienced tester but I stand a better chance than someone who has only sat a short course well that's my thinking lol:biggrin5:

Top Tip: drive on the roads unsupervised for a couple of years to gain experience before taking your driving test.

and there you have it, a perfect example of something everyone can relate to. you learn to drive and pass your driving test. then, over time, you become an experienced (competent) driver.
