What does CITB advise for CSCS test revision?
CITB recommends taking a relevant training course and working through all the sample questions in the revision material. It says to be confident with the topics and questions before you book. The short course it names is the Site Safety Plus (SSP) health and safety awareness course.
Why the test can read differently from the book
CITB may change the wording of test questions to make them plainer, so a question in the test can be worded differently from the one in the book. It says the meaning stays the same.
Rules and good practice change, and CITB says you won’t be tested on questions that have stopped being appropriate. You can update the DVD or download from its main menu with the web update option.
