Well, I got it done, but must admit it took more than one try Even with the high-res photos some things are harder to see than they would be 'in person'.

Nice training idea. I like it. I tried guessing answers without reading and did not even score 50%. I am lousy at guessing.

I took the test and failed with a 77. I really liked it, but it should help you by letting you know what you got wrong and why. I know I got a few wrong and thought I would have gotten a 90 on it.

So Nick, would that be possible to get the correct answers?

Thanks and look forward to more traing like it.

There are a few things I wasn't sure I was missing or not due to the visuals.
I'd like to know what questions I missed so I can research the answer if it wasn't just visual...

cheers,
Tim

lol....I did the video and I know of one thing i did not call out myself....lol....remember when doing an electrical inspections it is not about getting them ALL...it is about the quality of the ones you do get and produce a good list of defects so that the electrician can examine it more.

Yes, you know what your looking at and what to look for. If I get something wrong (on the test) and I donot not know what it was and or why, then I could keep repeating he same mistake, and what if at an inspection it could be that one defect?

I would like to know what I got wrong and why. Actually I would like to know what I get wrong on all those online courses.
