Now they won't answer the phone, short staffed due to cover how many times people have used this surely they can work remotely from home...

Where they booked up for the date you tried ?. Just noticed the time of your first post don't think they where open lol. Patience is the order of the day well the test day remember take your time read the questions twice at least the hour you get is more than enough. I am dyslexic so i told myself to read three times slowly witch i did and then went back over my answers and still finished the test in 23 or 24 minutes i think it was well less than half an hour. You WILL pass put you a fiver on it.

Glad you got sorted and booked for your exam Chris.
A lot of frustrating steps to get to that point, let alone the studying
It would be great if you keep us updated to how you get on, I know we've been happy to congratulate members that pass their Foundation in the past. I also mirror the sentiment from Alan as I know first hand how even he doubted his own abilities and happily passed in the end
Best of luck!
All the best, Victor

No worries at all Chris, pretty much all of us are happy to help each other out where and when we can.
Remember there's no such thing as a 'silly question', the only thing being 'silly' is the question never asked.
Won't be long and you'll have your very own Ham callsign, just like Alan, myself and many, many others. We've travelled the same path and happy to give directions.

Have you got the App "UK Amateur Radio Mock Tests". It will work on Apple or Android and has god knows how many mock tests on it for all 3 levels. Just had a look but don't think you can get it foe Windows.
