On a practical note, if any of you can remember any questions that were not on your learnatrade disc, DO contact them, as Norm will be very keen to update the software, but be accurate about what you were asked. I used learnatrade and spent many hours using it. It really was invaluable.

sign up to smartscreen.co.uk i am finding that the plumbing practise questions are also coming up in the exams which really helps alot get on it guys

hello ste b
just started level 2. would be great to get any past paper questions
cheers

the problem with the learn a trade cd is that the questions are not in the online exams you take. The learnatrade cd was baed on the old written exams where the questions were the same so you could memorise the questions/answers.

Best advice is to look in your JTL book and ask your tutor. I did my exams in june and am now out and about on my own and booked up till december. The work is out there, all depends how you go about getting it.

Dont rely on the learnatrade cd to get you through, it helps dont get me wrong, but needs updating to be current with the C&G online exams

Cheers

fair enough cheers andy b. im just always on the lookout for anything extra that might help. good luck earning your christmas beer money

Have a look at smartscreen if you can, i seem to remember that although it was only 20 questions and they never changed on there, the smartscreen questions are exactly the same format as you get in your online exam.

If your lucky you'll get one or two (maybe more) of these smartscreen questions in your online exam - everything helps.

The JTL book was good, think though my classroom notes helped as well as the instructor made a point of letting us kow that 'this specific area will come up in the exam'

Revise and im sure you'll be fine

Any other help you need just ask away

Cheers
Andy

I am on a 10 week course and have recently just completed the GOLA exam. As a group (23 I think), only 1 person did not make it. Everyone had different questions (computer based) and we all studied from the JTL book. The exam was not easy and we all have trouble with the terminology. My advice (for what its worth) is if your not sure about a term in the question just ask.

The vast majority of us all passed the modules as well, again most problems we encountered were to do with terminology and understanding poorly worded questions. Again, my only advice would be if your not sure what something means just ask.

I think that the answers are in the JTL book but C & G word the questions really badly.

I hope this helps a little and good luck.

Sorry pal, but with a reply like that, you are obviously related to C&G or a lecturer/teacher in one form or another!

Hi, you may have found the right book for you by now but the one I found the best was Plumbing R.D. Treloar this book covers NVQ/SVQ levels 2 & 3 by Blackwell Publishing more info and not so many pictures. Good luck with your exams.

any book by treloar is very good
