It took me about ten minutes and I was out of the exam room.

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

I did it about 7 or 8 years ago (non-window cleaning trade).
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.

Dead Easy - Fire Extinguishers types for which kind of fires is about the hardest bit to remember.
Rest is common sense.

Easy, as said just learn your fire extinguisher colours. For anyone with an ounce of common sense it's probably harder to fail it than pass it!

They hadn't last December when I retook the test because my first had expired!
