Thanks. I've seen that done (varying the order of questions for each candidate) with exams undertaken by people using computers within the same room, presumably because, if they don't, 'cheating' ('copying') is even easier!

I've only got experience of the EAL version of the exam, the C&G might be different, but
Questions do follow the order of the regs book as far as chapters are concerned, you'll get all the Qs on chapter one, followed by all the Qs on chapter 2, then 3, 4, etc
Questions are drawn from a largish (how large I don't know) bank, so you are unlikely to get the same questions as the person sat next to you, and very unlikely that it will be in the same running order, and also the what the answers are presented as multiple chocies A, B, C, D is randomised, so if the person next to you did get the same question, he might need to tick B for the right answer and you C.
I'm afriad I only managed a score of 59/60

Yes.
Me too last time - and an irritating thing is they don't tell you which was the wrong one.I'm afriad I only managed a score of 59/60

Interesting. If that's true, it's a new one on me. Questions in multiple choice exams always do come from a fairly large bank of questions, but the norm is that all people sitting a certain exam on a certain occasion get the same questions.
What you are describing would totally preclude the undertaking of 'diagnostics' and 'validation' that is usually undertaken on the results of serious multiple choice exams.

Whats an EAL version, i done the C&G today and they also did seem mostly in order to me, but im sure jumped back every so often, but as you say maybe still in the same chapter, without me noticing, bit disappointed at only getting 90%, though its a pass.I've only got experience of the EAL version of the exam, the C&G might be different, but

Not directly.
It's multiple choice exam.
Though obviously if you don't know you might have to calculate to determine the correct one.

I was asked the volt drop for 10metres of 2.5mm T and E with a 20 amp load, so it appears they use figures that are easy, unfortunately i got it wrong as i did not have time to look up the volt drop per metre , I quessed the lowest answer but i think it was the 2nd.
The way some questions where worded caught me out.

Its in written form page 381, section 6 of appendix 4 3rd paragraph, can be found via the index under Voltage drop
I wonder where Rocky got his info, then.
No idea.
If the exam alters the question order for each person (to avoid cheating) how can they be in book order?
Because they are ordered by section. You don't get the same questions - there is a bank. So it's not that everyone is answering the same questions in different orders.
Are you sure? That doesn't seem fair.
