The RAF technical examining board used objective multiple choice

Hi all.

 

For general info from a tick test marker.

 

The pass mark of the basic UK foundation level exam is 72% which is much higher than the old RAE.

 

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

 

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

 

They'll be back!
