Subject: A week to go..... Sat Apr 01, 2023 4:32 pm
Took my exam today, couple of questions had me thinking, so flagged them and looked over them again. Had plenty of time, so went back through all the questions a total of 3 times, still finished in less than half an hour.
The bad news is, shock horror, got 2 questions wrong, had hoped to get 100% but am happy enough with my result.
I should get my documents through the post in about 7 days, I'll have gnawed my finger nails to the bone by then.

Well done Mark! Really pleased for you.
2 questions wrong is not bad at all, sometimes you just have to read questions very carefully to pick up simple things in the question wording like for example "must" or "must not".. makes all the difference.
Not long now till you can get on air

Congratulations from me as well Mark. Only 2 wrong, I got 3x that wrong ending up at 19. Just make sure you don't consume your mike key finger or you will need to go VOX.

You did very well.
I got two Distinctions back in 84, not sure how that equates to todays but it was good back then. What helped me was I am a electrical engineer plus I did a course at Worthing Tech. I also helped a mate get his ticket by doing weekly sessions at his house.
