Has anyone done this?

I have applied for a 'White card' as I have college qualifications and have been informed that I need to take this test to get a 'White card'.

I have heard that the standard test are reasonably simple and quite a lot of common sense is needed.

Is this the same for the management test? I have mine booked for tomorrow so haven't really got time to order any revision books. I have however just carried out an SMSTS course a few weeks ago so all of that info is reasonably fresh in my mind. I am hoping that the majority of the questions will be similar.

Thanks all

Brilliant, thanks for that.

I was hoping that was the case after I had a quick look at some mock questions I was wondering if they really were as simple as that.

Something to look forward tomorrow then rolleyes

There can be some tricky questions though. I wouldn't personally go into a test assuming I'll pass. Especially as the pass rte is quite high.

There are often 2 possible correct answers and 2 ridiculous answers. It wouldn't hurt doing a mock test online.
Just made this mistake paperbag.

Went in to confident and assumed a pass would be nice and simple. Failed it by one or two marks. I have now downloaded mock tests on an app and will re book next week so that will give me a bit of time to swot up.

Knew the marks were quite tight as well but for some reason thought you were allowed to get more than 4 incorrect.

That will teach me.

Yeah all your fault!! biggrin

No, no one is to blame apart from myself. I should of booked it a bit further away and atleast given myself a chance to look at some mock tests and a read up on things.

The majority were simple, just the odd few that threw me. Couple of scaffolding questions that got me and I haven't looked at the official scaffolding regs for a while.

I was working as project supervision on utility sites so have the eusr cards for that.

Planning on going on to building sites after as I have college qualifications and others that I can use for building sites. The company I was working for were meaning to put me through a couple f courses, cscs cards, smsts and a few more but decided to make me redundant instead. Very nice of them I must admit!

Anyway decided to do them off my own back to make me more employable.
