I am attaching last years module 1 question paper here until the end of February.
The idea is that those who failed the exam last year can have another go at it and then get some feedback; the "next best thing" to getting their real answer papers back. See "learning from failure"
Also those that are seriously thinking of attempting the paper for the first time next year should also have a go- I am not expecting great things initially, but the important thing is to ACTUALLY START and get an idea about what writing the paper is all about at first hand.
It should only take an hour and a half to download, printout, get set-up, handwrite answers on the blank sheets (I have attached my representation of the official IRSE Exam A4 answer sheet- but there are also two varieties of A3 answer sheet which might prove useful for certain questions - see attachments in graph paper thread ), scan and submit.
Ideally use the "Answers Anonymous" facility
- no one else will be able to see your attempt at that time; otherwise email me and attach.
Allocate yourself a 4 digit candidate number of form DDHH where DD is the day of the month and HH the clock face hour when you start your answer.
At the end of the month I'll post all answers received into the "Module 1 Virtual Study Group" part of the website so will not be visible to all and sundry. Indeed submission of your attempt will be your initial "entry ticket" into this restricted area, so hopefully this will carrot active as an incentive and get you started. This is my way of finding out who is prepared to get "stuck-in" seriously and who isn't yet ready to make that committment.
