[easyJet] Need infos on the SEP exam
Hello!
I'm a new entrant Cabin Crew for easyJet and I have the SEP exam scheduled soon.
So if anyone of you guys may give me some inputs that would be greatly appreciated!
Is that exam 90% written and 10% "practical"?
Do I have to stay focused on details about SEP or it's all about "general ideas"? So many things to learn that it is sometimes confusing.
About the practical part of the exam: is it like "Open a door", "Arm a door"...?
Thank you!

Not sure about EZY, but all the other airlines I have worked for the SEP exams were 90% pass mark.
You then have practical exams which are 100% pass mark.
You have to open and arm a door competently because that is what you will be doing everyday!
Your trainers should really have answered these questions at the start of your course.

as far as i can remember, the pass mark is 95%, and you MUST know your emergency drill word for word. This is vital, as if you don't have it word for word, you will fail. Cabin secure doesn't have to be word for word, but must make sense, and include the main tasks
a lot of it is multiple choice, but the written part is worth the most marks. don't forget there is no time limit, so take your time and don't panic. Aircraft diagrams are important too, so make sure you are hot on them. Good luck anyway and believe me it's not as difficult as you think. Its amazing what you take in when you are interested in a subject, which i'm sure you are wanting to be cabin crew so bad. You will be fine

Oh yes Jettesen,
I forgot about thise bloody drills! LOL.
I HATED learning the A330 diagram.....I just used to learn a section at a time and then put it all together.
I did the 320 at the same time, and then got confused with the 73 diagram I had learnt in my previous airlines!

Your Exmas
I just did all those exams about a month ago, Im working in LGW for EZY and im sure you'll love it, where are you going to be based??
I dont want to give you the answers as I know lots of trainers from EasyJet read these forums, but just dont worry yourself over it!
Instead of spending your evening in the hotel bar drinking like many people did, just revise for it and you will walk through it
Your SEP exam is 100% written but its all multiple chose. There are a few location diagrams in it also, but dont worry about it.
Then you have the First Aid Exam next which is 60% written and 40% practical. (You either pass or fail the practical so dont worry too much about that, All what happens here is you are on board the aircraft and somone drops their clogs and you have to bring them to life by doing your DR ABC.
Then the final exam which is a mixture of SEP and First Aid.
Just revise as much as you can and you'll do okay in it. Im sure you'll have a great time, have you started your training then yet??
oh by the way, for your SEP exam you need to know the 10 point drill and for the Final both the 10 point drill and the 15 pt cabin secure.
A good way to remember your ten point drill is
All - Allert call
Benders - Brief
Enjoy - Emergency PA
A - ABP\'s briefed on exits
Fat - Final Cabin Secure
Dick - Dim Lighting
Large - Landing positions
Balls - Brace
Or - Open emergency exits and direct
Ejaculation - Evacuate

Haven't they told you how the exam will be structured? If not, you might want to ask them.
As for tips, it always amazes me when people ask this question as it seems to me that the BEST pass grade is one which you've achieved yourself.
In an emergency situation who will be around to give you tips?? So, my advice to you is this: Study, study, study. When you get that passing mark and take to the skies you'll be more confident that you did it on your own and that you're a true professional for knowing that a/c back to front.
Good luck!

Some of the a/c diagrams are a little, er, shall we say redundant given the plethora of different configurations found on some of the older 737s (the first 2 or 3 737-300s delivered to easyJet and the entire fleet inherited from Go).
There are even differences in safety equipment configuration between the newer 737-700s. By all means learn the "right" configurations in your exam; but if you're going to a 737 base it's worth checking out the configuration on your plane when you first step in - there are some wild differences!
Good luck, you'll pass - almost everyone does.

If you want to know about the pass marks and the format of the exams, why not just ask your trainers? They know and would give you the correct information I am sure. From what I remember, it is all explained on the website for new cabin crew, it is in the manual and covered during the introduction to the course.
Good luck!

Hiya, I work for EZY out of LGW too 
Don't stress about your exams. Trust me, the more worked up u get, the more you can't remember.
The trainers will practically give you the answers to every question if you just ask them
Just listen to everything they say in class, don't spend your whole night in the bar as ezybuzz said, and learn your ten point drill word for word.
The exams are majority multichoice and either 1 or 2 answers are clearly wrong. If you read your stuff, the answer will glow on the paper.
Here's another tip - and a very good one!!!! So listen up!!
When you get your questions - cover the answers over immediately!!! Don't look at them. Think of what your answer would be then when you know - look for it on the paper to confirm. Then leave it!! Don't go back and ponder on the questions. The problem is - multichoice is designed in such a way as to confuse the hell out of you If you think of the answer before looking at the paper - you cannot be confused by the other options....
Think about it Everybody on my course, and the one behind, passed every exam with marks over 94 percent! I got 98 and 100 percent on all of mine! keep your head up and you'll do fine
Good Luck
