Default 4th class part B exam questions

Anybody recently write the ABSA 4th class part exam? I'm looking for practice questions, or any related info that would help me pass that bad boy.
I will pay for it!

Thanks.

How about try studying! That attitude right there is turning that trade into a wash out! Learn the stuff and develop competency.

Actually wrote it this morning. Just study the pan-global book if you have them. Its all from there. It wasn't too bad at all.

I wrote mine in 05. I m not sure if it has changed much but I have a PILE of ABSA worded questions in a binder in the shop that I found to be very useful.

Not sure where you're from but as long as I get them back I could lend them to you.

That is, if the material hasn't changed much

With ABSA it can be a bit harder than that. They are notorious for pulling questions from other publications that aren't even listed in the SOPEEC reference material. Knowing the SOPEEC material will be enough to pass but it seems odd that they are able to pull questions from something not even listed in their recommended readings. But then again they are ABSA and seem to have a god complex.

Oh ok. I'll try that. I've been operating for 8 yrs, and the company wants 4th class guys. I've read the books twice now. Just wanting some practice questions.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful advice.
