How do I Book a Test?
If you are looking to take your CITB test at our Colchester Training Centre, you might be trying to find out information about what the test is like, what it includes, and if there is anything you can do to increase your chances of passing it.
The truth is, there is no big secret to passing your CITB test. It all comes down to how much preparation you put in before you arrive to take the test. If you know someone who has passed their CITB test, it’s highly likely they will tell you they did it by spending lots of time revising beforehand.
This is the best thing you can do before sitting your test - revise as much as you can. In addition to revising, you should think about your strategy for the test itself. You have a limited amount of time (45 minutes) to answer all the questions in the test (50) so you need to work your way through them in a methodical way
Try not to spend too long on any question. If you don’t immediately know the answer from the multiple-choice options given to you, either leave the question and come back to it at the end or make your best guess. You want to make sure that you answer every single question, even if you aren’t 100% sure of the answer to all of them. You need to get at least 45 of the 50 questions correct in order to pass so missing just one out can be the difference between passing and failing.
