Tips on Passing The CITB Test
Prepare properly - all 3 levels of the CITB Test are challenging and you will need to put in suitable amounts of revision if you want to pass first time. When revising, make sure you are using appropriate revision materials that are of high quality to ensure you are learning the correct information.
Ask questions at the test centre - if you are unsure of how the software works or how the test will be managed, ask a member of staff who will be able to help you better understand things.
Answer every question - there will be questions you probably won't know the answer to. It is a good idea to answer all the questions you know first before going back and making an educated guess on the remaining questions you are unsure of.
