pat testing questions

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Today I failed my pat testing exam. I was presented with questions not covered by the tutor during the course and cannot find clarification in the iet book I was hoping to get some answers.


A few of the questions where about rcd sockets outdoors, the maximum trip time and trip values as well as minimum and maximum amperage.


Another 2 was about test probe leads, the question answers had options like bs codes and gs38 and also voltage ratings like 20-200v ac and 20-200v dc. But none of this was covered in the course.


I failed by a single mark. Had these been covered or easy to find in the book I would have passed. Can anyone offer clarification in relation to this information?

    Well it turns out that only 2/5 of us on that course actually passed. So that largely indicates the tutor needs to spend less time talking about his dad and more about the course


    I think we're all here trying to gauge what level of electrical experience and knowledge you have attained.

    You'll notice that some have dived into explaining what the various concepts are and some want more information about yourself so that we might be more precise about guidance.

    I take on board that some colleges/training providers  do not provide acceptable tutors. As an example, I know of one college where they hired a plumber to teach basic electrical concepts, I was eventually called in to manage a practical session where he was attemoting to connect up a couple of AVOs to demonstrate Volts, Amps, Volt/Amps and Watts.
