Steve, who worked with me came out looking at his piece of paper, brow furrowed, he failed it.

It is common sense but some of it needs thinking about and if you don't work in construction I would guess it is a little harder.

They have made it harder in recent years and I have to do a retest in December, for next year.

Christ I hope I pass now ;D

Buy the test book from Smiths

Rob ;D

It was a breeze, most questions are common sense but it might be worth just reading up on a bit of revision just to make sure.
I think it only takes about 30 minutes or something to complete but I finished well before.

Rest is common sense.
