Cert/level 2 C & G exams. Help!!??

[Curlyn]

I recently sat 2 assessments/exams on Principles and Sanitation. I failed.. I had a re-sit and have passed 1 so far. I revised so much. On both exams I had questions on things we haven't covered. Our tutors were aware of this (they had heard from other Colleges in the uk that this years computer based exam was asking level 3 questions!) . I'm really annoyed, I know the college is putting in a complaint, but am interested in others that are currently sitting the C&G's level 2. I have processes this week and wondering if it's going to be the same.

[Curlyn]

Yes, have the JTL level 2 book, The JTL revision book, The learnatrade disk with questions. It just wasn't enough. I had 5 questions in principles on stuff that hadn't either been covered or not in the books. So much so, once I completed the test, I quickly noted the the 5 questions, then handed them over to the Tutor.

oh blinkin eck Ste b, I thought the worst was over!. So did you have many questions that are considered Level 3 In processes?

Having the same problem with level 3, eg doing advanced sanitation and were getting questions on planning and advanced central heating. I thought the course was surposed to be modular!
I have no problem with tests being on computer, but lets keep the questions on subject! C&G have realy f**ked up, the questions are all over the place.
First gas exam next week, not holding out much hope they will proberly ask questions on nucular physics!!!

i've had a problem with pretty much all the exams i've sat this year i passed my health and safety and common proccesses i had to retake sanitation (which i passed second time round) i'm now waiting for the 2nd retake of cold water and i'm also waiting to retake lead.. i'm finding that most of the questions that come up in the exams i haven't been taught and there isn't an explination for them in either the jtl book the jtl revision guide or the r.treylor book also the learn a trade disc is usless.... my tutors found out about the smart screen website and they offer work sheets and practise exam questions which help abit and some of the questions come up in the exam but it don't get you a pass so now i'm really stuck i'm once again about to buy another expencive book and spend another day revising just to fail again can anyone tell me if they are getting anywhere with sorting these exams out
