My sat was 1 & 5 this year. I was struggling to study the exam both with tremendous material due to too much undigestable information. After long long time assessment for objectives, I came up with the chosen topics to be studied from suggestion from Peter which is a good help and logical guess technique.
My preparation on Module 1 was as follows:
SPAD investigation
Project Life Cycle
7-Stage process
ALARP principle
Risk identification, assessment, reduction, mitigation
Human mistakes
ESM Study
Module 5:
AC/DC TC Calculation
Fault Tree Signal/Point
Point Operation Lock/Drive/Detect Mechanism
Axle counter
SPAD
Maintenance Regime
1st bullet "Did the questions surprise you?"
Mod1, surprised I could do well on my thoughts at least I could have 14-page attempt to express my ideas on 3 questions.
Mod5, I was a bit shocked; I could not find TC calc. Luckily I found point mechanism and fault tree and those are my plan to do it. 12-page answer on 3 questions would be not bad for my score.
2nd bullet "How tough did you think it was?"
It was not too tough from my point of view if I compared it with last year questions.
3rd bullet "Were the administrative arrangements at your exam centre ok?"
BKK Exam center was good. There were about 7 people attempting. Actually it is best for us not to travel away from Thailand which is cheaper if not located in BKK.
4th bullet "Are you apprehensive for the long wait before knowing your result?"
I am now being frustrated for long wait. If it is the long wait and the result does not disappoint me, I would be extremely happy. If not, I would get my mind out of it for a while and restart perhaps soon.
Last, I would like to thank people again especially PJW, Peter, Jerry1237, Dorothy and etc. in this webboard for their contributions, example answers, and people who have taught me in BKK.
Best regards
