Does using a searchable copy of the regs book on a tablet to do an open book exam dumb it down to the lowest level?

Actually, no it doesn’t. It’s a long and involved story, I did the BPEC Water Regulations course and exam at a private training school in Birmingham, there were ten of us me and nine plumbers, I passed they all failed, but you were guaranteed a pass by the training centre so the trainer said they would just have to sit there retaking it until they passed even if they were there all night.

On the way out I said the the trainer “I wonder how long it will take them to twig that the numbers after the questions are the page and paragraph number in the book telling them where the answer is?” he just put his head in his hands.

The trainer said he had been watching us doing the exam and that it was obvious that as an electrician I was the only person taking the exam who actually had any experience of looking things up in a regs book.
