EasyFox

this years niceic assessment in a few weeks time

Shakey

83% one section

but that means you got an answer wrong

which means you didnt know the answer

EASYFOX DOESNT KNOW THE ANSWER

ok, try this,

take your finger

and your thumb

make a shape of an 'L'

place on forehead



oh, and well done mate

EasyFox

Hi EasyFox....thanks for posted question above...
I manage to answers these questions....please correct is i'm wrong..

1/B
3/C
5/D
6/A
7/D
8/D

I could not find answer for questions 2, 4,9 & 10...
Please could you post the answer and how to find it around the 17th edition book..???
many thanks....

PS: please....please.....post more Question...

Congratulation on your exam.....!!!

wayne

1b,2c,3c,4?,5d,6a,7d,8d,9b,10d, about 15 mins with regs do i pass ?
ps well done

Hi wagne...thanks for the answers....it took you that long....hii..hiii...well done mate..
it took me almost an hour....cos i just had the book and haven't got used to it....guess i have to crack down reading this book....i'm start the course the end of next month...

Ps: question 2,9 and 10...is the answer in the book or something you all ready new.
and i think Easyfox posted ques.4 by mistake..there is no section 771..!!

Cheers guys....!!!

wayne

all from the book by the use of the contents list at the front and the index at the back,
the way you use the book hasnt changed just the content
i would have been quicker but the wife kept nagging me over something
some one else needs to tell me if im right or wrong
