Read all the questions carefully, the answers are in the documents supplied by the centre.
Makesure you're gemed up on Fluing, Ventilation regs & pipe sizing calulations.
In the practical, they are looking for the right answers & that you are confident in yourself.
Look at the installations, start at the meter & methodically inspect them for faults.
Makesure you know the tightness testing,gas rating, ventillation & safety cut off procedures.
Get to know & be able to identify all the different types of safety & control devices.
Stay cool & act confidently, & you'll get throught it ok.

will depend on what you are covering and what course you have been on.
I did the full gas NVQ so had already done loads of exams prior to the acs and did mostly practical for the acs,
some other lads that were on level 3 plumbing were covering less subjects but sitting more exams.

you need to work through it methodically, there is no race to get through but also you can't waste time.
the faults on appliances in my experience were things operating in an unsafe way, some were apparent immediately, others might not have been instantly obvious until warmed up.
you have got a few weeks to swat up yet, don't panic and hope it all goes well

You'll be alright, dont know anybody who has failed their gas. I enjoyed the paper tests the most just be prepared to get beasted in your practical, they tell you how crap you are just to put you under pressure, at the end they tell you why they have done it etc when i sat my ACS, i read the Gas book like a bible!!

Passed mine this Wednesday, you will overlook the complete obvious looking for somthing trivial. Read the questions and make sure you have ticked the boxes that you mean to put too!

You'll be fine!
