I can assure that if you do make it, use of the phrase "pushing tin" or any similar expressions will earn you "dork status" amongst all your colleagues.
I wish you the best of luck, but calm down, keep your head down and gob shut.
Niknak,
Whilst I appreciate that your post is (probably) well intentioned id like to point out I do not think that this will be a walk in the park! Im quite aware of the fact that this is going to be a bloody hard slog and theres a significant chance I wont make it.
I really dont want to sound like a miserable sod, but I just get the impression that you think im some sort of spotty teenage geek fresh out of school with no idea of what lies ahead of me, this is definately not the case!
The point of this thread was to try and give some hints and tips to anyone who might be taking the tests in the future, in the same way the NATS thread has done.
cheers
