For migrants, a course is best although the revision books are available in different languages. It has to be the聽latest edition of the book聽because things move on and, anyway,聽they keep 鈥渞evising鈥� the content of the tests!聽Odd, but I can鈥檛 find any revision courses on-line.

So how to revise for CSCS?

• Read the book from cover to cover.
• Read the book聽again聽from cover to cover!
• Just read the questions and make a note of your answers. These are multiple-choice questions, so all that鈥檚 needed is a, b, c or d.
• Check your answers to see how many you got right!
• Read the book cover to cover聽again!
• Answer the questions.
• Check your answers.
• Carry on doing this until your correct answers are well over the minimum required for you to pass! For me I think it was 90%! (This is why mine could be NVQ7.聽If you didn鈥檛 know your stuff, no chance!)
