Learning the information to pass the 17th edition exam can sometimes be a difficult experience. Especially if you have not had to learn anything since school.

One of the ways you can improve how the learning sinks in is by trying out different methods of learning. For example some people may prefer to read lots of information whereas others may prefer to see the information set out in diagrams.

The key to increase the effectiveness of your learning is to work out what is the best way for your brain to absorb the information.

Here is a generic plan to try with your revision:

Read the course notes through once. Do not be too concerned about understanding the information in the 17th edition just read through it first.
Re-read the course whilst making notes. Try and make your notes as varied as possible. Try using bullet points, or mind maps or even making things rhyme.
Read your note out loud. There have been studies which show the brain can remember sounds quite easily.
If you want to take it a step further you can always record yourself reading out your notes. That way you could play the file on a mp3 player or even burn it to a cd to play in the car!

Hopefully that will give you a basis to build your revision plan from. Then you can pass the 17th edition exam with ease!

Are you looking to sit the 17th Edition BS7671 exam? If you are looking to become an electrician or to start working designing electrical items then this exam is a must have. Many other careers are also affected. The 17th Edition was originally published back in January 2008 and became legal in July 2008. This means that for existing electricians, it is something they have to do or it is possible that they could be prevented from doing their job.

The new 17th Edition contains quite a few changes. For example the standard now has to confirm with European documentation. With all these changes, revising for the exam can seem quite daunting. You can buy the book from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (The IET), however at 389 pages it may seem like a mountain to climb.

In this blog we will be investigating some of the help available to help you pass this exam as well as recommending resources to ensure you pass first time.
