Hi all.

For general info from a tick test marker.

The pass mark of the basic UK foundation level exam is 72% which is muc= h=20 higher than the old RAE.

In an exam I invigilated last night we had six candidates with 4=20 passing. Of the remaining two who were not successful, the reason was=20= one=20 that I see on too many occasions. Both candidates did very well on the techn= ical=20 side of the exam. ( TX RX antennas EMC theory) but scored poorly (30%) on th= e=20 license conditions section.

Even for those people with a technical background, work is required and= =20 study on areas of the syllabus you are not familiar with is essential.

They'll be back!
