Gola exam 6129 level 2

[northstar]

Hi all does anyone know if the gola exam is a open or closed book exam ? also how many questions? many thanks in advance

 

[PlumbBobBob]

if it's the last one it will be closed book. in fact i think all the gola exams are closed book but i may be wrong.

 

[bob the plumber]

all closed book, cant remember how many questions

 

[truemanufan]

All closed book and around 40 questions! As long as you have been ok previously and done your reading you should breeze it pal

 

[turnpin]

Closed book and 50 questions just revise what you`ve already done regards turnpin

 

[GirlNat]

Its 50 or 60 questions and pass rate is 70%.
What does open/closed book exam mean? :$

 

[northstar]

open book is you have your books to look at, closed no books allowed. are the questions 3-4 from each previous exams taken or more on certain things ? eg health and safety

Ah right!. Its all closed book. Its a certain amount of questions taken from each module. Im doing my exam in a few weeks and im revising everything.

 

[northstar]

are you going through jtl book ?

 

[GirlNat]

are you going through jtl book ?

I take notes in class, so im going through them. But id go through that book as well. I find doing lots of mocks exams helpful.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

as far as i remember my 6129 gola ......all the questions I had a trouble before on the other exams came up on my final one !

ohhhhh did i not past it first time

 

[fuzzy]

go through the questions at the end of the sections

 

[northstar]

go through the questions at the end of the sections

Hi fuzzy jtl book ?

 

[fuzzy]

yeh the jtl book, helps v much ime

 

[bigboy]

learnatrade also very useful

 

[steven n]

Hi i did the gola exam last week it is closed book about 30 questions read that jtl book and u will be fine

 

[northstar]

30 questions, were they 2-3 on each subject ?

 

[steven n]

6 different subjects about 5 on each one

 

[northstar]

any particular subjects ? thanks

[Gray0689]

any particular subjects ? thanks

Lol could not resist it lol
Best of luck

 

[steven n]

Just had a look at my test examination score report and the 6 subject are
1. Describe the main bodies within the MES sector and basic health & safety issues that apply
2. Physical forces that impact on the MES
3. Interpret drawings, specifications and data
4. Tools and work processes
5. Calculate and quantify. Mark and ste out
6. Building and construction methods/materials used in the MES sector

When i read this i was like whats the hell does this all mean it's just fancy words for whats in the jtl book u get some funny questions not at all about plumbing some on maths some on the tools u use in plumbing some on symbols in plumbing like what symbol is a service valve stuff like that so have a good look at that page in the book some on health & safety and some on electrics. There was 7 of us who done the test and we all got different questions all of us passed so as i said if u read the book u will b fine

 

[bkj]

hi i have just took this exam last friday and it is 50 questions 8 different categories hope this helps

 

[rudeboytee]

I took mine a couple of days ago it was 50 questons and was told the pass rate is 60% which is lower than all the previous tests

 

[loulou8241]

I got my Gola coming up soon for level 2 is there any cd to revise just for that, ive got smart screen and moodle which is a break down on all the units, and do any of you have anything that may help.those of you that have already done would you say easy - hard

I got my Gola coming up soon for level 2 is there any cd to revise just for that, ive got smart screen and moodle which is a break down on all the units, and do any of you have anything that may help.those of you that have already done would you say easy - hard

I found it quite easy. The best thing to do is go over all your modules you've done.

Hi Steveb

I have done! I've passed all my exams up to yet and revisied properly for each one. The only thing is that other students im my class are falling behind and i am the only one who has passed all my exams so far, first time. And for my tutors its quite hard for them to sit with only 1 me alone to cover the modual. I dont want to leave it too late too - n ur right i should revise

 

[Mohammed786]

Hi everybody again,

Is there anybody who is registered with C&G SmartScreen because I need the exam papers which are on there 6129 level 2 central heating onces. My smartscreen has been expired. Could somebody email me them there should be two paper 1 and paper 2. Thank you

How has it expired. If your a student it's part of your course?

 

[Mohammed786]

Smartscren emailed my tutor and said that the college will have to register again, I don't know why though! If any body could get on to smart screen 6129 basic plumbing studies level 2 there are two exam papers on central heating with the answers on them, could some body email them to me [email protected]
thanks
