Hi. Just creating a group so we can share our exam experiences. Good luck everyone!!

Mark

Did both PIFR and IREX exams yesterday. 77% and 78%.

A pass is a pass is a pass.

Thanks Bob for 2 great weeks of tuition! Hope the rest of the group do well also.

Cheers, Mark

Well done Mark .....

Was the PIFR much different (different focus) than IREX?
Any surprises in the IREX?

Catch you again one day ....

David

Hi David
Yes, the PIFR was a surprise. Nearly a third of the questions hadn't been covered. (Human factors, specific questions re PIFR status etc).
IREX was as expected, yet there were so many questions I was waiting for that weren't in it. It was like we'd learned more than we needed. Having said that, the exam q's today could cover all those I expected yesterday. Depends on the mix of questions that comes up each time.

Summary, I wouldn't have had a hope without doing the 2 weeks with Bob. 2 other guys in the exam had been self studying for 12 months. They both failed.

Hope all is well. Cheers, Mark

Gidday Mark

Congratulations mate. I wasn't aware that the PIFR contained questions on Human Performance. Those funny little psychologists want to inject their 'psychobable' into everything. Sometimes I suspect they really do think they know what they're talking about.

By the way, I love your photo!!!

Hi mark

Was time any issue?

Regards

David

Time was not an issue. I had plenty of time for the questions and then to go back and check them.
Good tip to just go and do the easy ones first.
Cheers....

Mark...Congrats mate...!!!Just enquiring about tagging!! Would you know the limit of tagging in the IREX exam?

This is why GOD invented Google Capt Bula!!!
