Hi Guys (and Girls),

I started my 17th Edition course Last Night. My Lecture has put together a fantasic website and Multi-choice on screen tests, Using actual questions from the exams. (not what he may think they are).

The Price (Unfortunately, all good things come at a price), Is

Once you have purchased this, received your 'Loggin in' details and Replied to the Email with the Reference... "REF:TALK"Enter here www.learn17thedition.org to Loggin and use it.

One thing that I have noticed is that, even though there are a few hundred questions, You can only use each section ONCE after getting them right. You can, however - Still see the questions and answers that are shown as "Correct" with a green tick, for 'revision'.

The site, In my Opinion, works quite well, considering it is in it's early days. Clearly - a lot of time and effort has gone into it.

One thing that I have spotted (and My lecturer has said his son is going to do asap) is that there is no link back to the question index page. (quizzes page as they call it).

I have to exit the questions page, by clicking the red square wit the white cross at the top right of the screen.

 
hi i was just wondering is there any sort of cd that can help me prepair for my 2330 302 exam (inspection and testing because i am finding it very hard and have already failed it once

 
I have that coming up. So too, I have my 301.

I would appreciate if you could recall some, if any questions, and post them on here, Please?

PS. Welcome to the forum.

 
Thanx Welshwizard.

This multi-choice question course really works.

After six evenings spent on it today I have passed 2382-10 exam.

Some questions are almost identical, some very similar, some less but overall, when you finish this course you are really prepared to undertake the real one.

Recommended.

Nice that you've made your first post! Well done BTW :)

There's a 'thanks' button you could click on to show Welshie that you appreciate his post :)

 
First post was 18th of March 2008 second post the day after, and now the replies are

1st of March 2009 followed by 6th of May, spooky how forums work

Some threads do end up that way (on many forums), depends if a member picks up on it, and chooses to reply.

It is nice on here, that if an old thread is brought back up the member isn't slated (unlike on other forums)

depends how relevant the resurrected thread is and what their reply is about. but round here, is doesnt really make much difference (and there has been plenty threads with a reply many moths after, and then further replies before someone notices date of first posts)

 
Just bought the exam practice above, waiting for the key.

I also found this and I am finding it good to make sure I have covered all the areas a college should cover when training us, good for revision also I think as you can go through it and make sure you know every area (or at least know where to find it as its open book n all)....so thought post... might help someone.

Have you received your Key Tom?
I have yes thanks, I love the program! lots of questions to get stuck into, the comment about only being able to answer the question once or twice seems to be only to stop people from passing the password around as they reset it for you (for free) if you ask but I do not think ill need to as my test is on Thursday and I think I will strugle to do it more than once but ill try. :^O :^O

 
Good luck on your test and get the key redone - go over them as much as you can.

The service is fab.

 
Thanks Admin.

Have you used it? just wondered if you think it is worth highlighting the answers?

 
i've brought the service through paypal and has been exepted and processed etc. but i haven't got login details yet. how long did it take you guys to get the ''key''

 
made in england,

When did you purchase it?

If you need it quick - Phone his Mobile (Trevor) and tell him, Admin from talk.electricianforum.co.uk told you to phone.

 
i contacted through emial and got a reply within the hour. very impressive service just like you said.
