Well here we go again. I'm not making a mistake about saying we either, Ang has supported my exam frenzy before... my exam date for this one is 19 Oct 09 @ 8:30 am in Dawson Creek.... 92 days away... the application has to be accepted by the Safety Authority (1-866-566-7233) by 29 Sep 09. The format is similar to the third class B1 paper and all the second class papers basically 7 question, answer 5 in 3.5 hours and get 65% or more to pass.
I am fortunate to be able to study while at work (so long as things run well)... this helps greatly as I will be working for about a month straight.
BCIT offers the correspondence course and primarily covers Pan Global's First Class Books and Reed's 3 with some extra questions added in from current exams.
The syllabus for 1A1 is Rankine and Brayton Cycles, Thermodynamics of Steam, Steady Flow Process Calculations, Thermodynamics of Perfect Gases, Expansion and Heat Transfer and Refrigeration Calculations.
My approach has been to study the principles in the Reed's and Pan Global books then practice definitions and questions using flashcards with Leitner system for review scheduling. Once I understand the principles the flashcards are just a mechanical brute force memorization... I put flashcards into the 8.5 x 11 paper format on PDF (each question per page folded in center (question on top, answer on bottom) this allows me to print off all questions with regular printer in card format... currently Flashcard exchange doesn't allow this but will in the future.
Recently I wrote 1A3 Boilers, Water treatment, corrosion and found that the BC Safety Authority supplies the Casio fx-260 calculator, so it was handy to pickup my own from office depot for $12.49.
Power Engineering in BC is regulated by the Safety Authority using the Safety Standards General Regulation and Power Engineers, Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Refrigeration Safety Regulation. Nationally SOPEEC is responsible for examination standardization.
