CSCS Supervisors Exam - Pass Mark?

[TedMaul]

As part of my 'Personal Development' this year, I am mostly going to sit my CSCS Supervisors Test. In 3 weeks in fact. Got the CD and have started blatting through the test questions and learning them properly, but I did a couple of mock exams just to make sure the software worked. Got 34/40 on both of them which is a miserable fail, so question is, what is the pass mark? I can't find anything to suggest what the pass mark is.

90%, if I remember correctly!

Thanks, sounds reasonable and achievable... 50% of the questions seem pretty common sense, 25% seem ok if you have been around a construction site for a year or so, the other 25% look like stuff you just have to learn verbatim. Not unlike the Driving Theory Test in fact...

Yep, its 90%.

Did make me laugh, I did my CSCS Visitor one when I first started about 4 years ago.

What should you do with a drill when the power is on?
a) Unplug
b) Stop the drill bit with your hand
c) Eat poison

One of the questions I saw was something on the lines of 'what should you do if a fuse blew in a drill you were using'. One of the suggested answers was to replace the fuse with a paper clip....
