Hello,

So this year I decided to enrol in a Level 2 Electrical Course. The course is going well, some bits I am struggling with, but I think that is part of the learning process. As with anything, it's a bit daunting.

Would anyone be able to give me some advice on exam preparation? I think its trying to remember the formulas and finding a way to get them to stick. I have started to do past papers, but if anyone has any advice on ways to remember formulas that would be a great help.

From previous experience they will at times supply formula sheets not sure if this will apply to your course though

They have given us formula sheets, mainly triangles. I am okay with them. It's mainly the Power Calculations and Star and Delta formulas.

"Swindon massive" website helped a lot when I did mine

I'm terrible at maths but I kept going over all the formulas (or other subjects) that I was told would be in the tests, a fairly intense week of study before any of the tests seemed to guarantee a distinction.

Lunch times spent with a quick sandwich and the rest of the time in the college library scanning my way through the Moodle notes.

Concentrate on the level 2 before thinking of Star & Delta formulas.

The college have (to my knowledge) introduced star and delta formulas for both level 2 and 3, whilst doing my training they had dropped electronics such as resistor band colours etc and replaced with star/delta and transformers; for some reason or other I found level 2 to be more formula intensive of a wide range than level 3, I think this was to do with level 3 really scoping in closer on power factors and the like.

The most useful thing to learn and remember for my class was certainly Pythagoras theorem, I can't stress how often this came into every lesson when dealing with science principles for power factor, leading and lagging triangles (parallel).

They have included Star and Delta Configurations for 3 phase systems. I know they mentioned Pythagoras theorem, which will be introduced at Level 3.

I am enjoying the course though, so I will see how my exam goes, and then we have a H&S unit to complete and our practical assignments.

I am then hoping to move onto Level 3, with the hope of finding somework, and a possible change in career.
