What Can I Take With Me?

Anyone taking test is allowed to refer to the Wiring Regulations book during the exam. Additionally, test takers should take an appropriate scientific calculator.

The purpose is to test your understanding and ability to apply knowledge, rather than just memorising information. The focus is on problem-solving, analysis, and critical thinking skills.

The exam centre may allow you to use your own book if it only contains the following (for example):

  • Bookmarks
  • Blank post-it notes
  • Marks indication parts of the book
  • Highlighted passages of text

The exam centre may not allow you to use your own book if it contains the following (for example):

  • Example test questions with answers
  • Inserted or drawn diagrams
  • Any additional writing or inserted notes
  • Any marks, notes etc. that could provide you with an unfair advantage compared to other test takers

The examination centre may require that a test taker uses a ‘clean’ version of the book without any notes or marks.

Some centres may provide ‘clean’ copies of the book, but others do not.

It is the test takers responsibility to check and comply with the rules and requirements of the examination centre before taking the test.

How Long Does the Test Take?

The test has a 2 hour time limit to complete all 60 questions.
