If you attend a study day or study group, it will be hammered into you that practice is king. The more you practice, and the longer you practice, the better your attempt will likely be. Getting peer feedback is essential. Doing it at the last minute and expecting those to respond rapidly on here is a big assumption that they will have the free time to do so especially as the number of posts dramatically increases towards the exam.

So, beat the rush, better your chances, start studying, post your answers on here.]]>

The reading list does it come after you have paid for the exam registration or as it says on the IRSE website at the end of March? The reason I ask is that we've got the majority of IRSE books at work eg those by OS Nock and if possible I'd like some direction towards those topics required in studying for the exam. My aim is to make some detailed notes on the way to aid study and pass what Ive learned onto colleagues and through this site would appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks, Ian.]]> Finally got my associate membership through and I'm ready to start my studies.

This is my first ever post although I registered quite a while ago, reason being I read somewhere that the forum is strictly for people who want to take the test and at that time I wasn't planning to.

My current work entails project management (commercial / contractual / programme management) in a signalling MRT project and this has been my role since the time I moved from process control to railway signalling industry in 2001. I also hold an IRSE Associateship.

Today project management no more gives me any pleasure or meaningful satisfaction and hence lately I have been dreaming of moving to a possible career in system engineering / design in railway signalling although I am not too confident about it as to when and whether at all I can achieve it (I am about to be 45!).

To start with, I plan to take the the IRSE Examination. With an Electrical and Electronics Engineering degree that I obtained 21 years ago it is not hard to guess that I would have forgotten a lot of it.

So before I took the plunge I wanted to brush up any of the basics that may be needed to understand the textual matter contained in the signalling textbooks. Particularly, I refer to the following:

- Engineering Mathematics - Boolean Algebra, Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, Algebra, Analytic Geometry, Mathematical Analysis, Transforms, ...what else?
- Integrated Electronics - which parts to omit?
- Digital Electronics - I guess the whole thing?
- Control Systems & instrumentation - I guess the whole thing?
- Network Analysis - which parts to omit?
- Any other subjects in particular?

Any help or advice shall be welcome.]]>
