Hi guys, I have just got a job as a pumber after stepping away from the trade for 3-4 years after passing my 3QP at Unitec but not getting registered.
I am looking at doing the June 2011 exam if I can cram enough study in time for April sign up.
Can anyone tell me where to find old exam papers and or other material I may need.
Thank you in advance! =)

Hi
The latest exam paper was REALLY different from previous ones. My understanding is that they quarantined all the old question bank for the November 2010 exams and wrote completely new questions. I had six staff sit the last exams and they all commented how different it was compared to the old papers they had studied - they are now open book so you get G12 and G13 (and I presume 5261 for gas but I didn't have any sit gas so not 100% sure). I would make yourself familiar with your codes - where to look for what - and sure study old exam papers, but see if you can get a copy of the November one to note the changes in format. There are now multi choice as well to take account of. Good on you for starting to study now - you need to. Good luck with the exam. (PS If you get a chance attend an ITO exam preparation workshop - they are very good).

Ahh thanks for that very helpful info. In talking about the ITO refresher you actually reminded me of what a craftsman plumber told me a while back that unitec is out of touch with the board and they're refresher course isn't as good so I'll check out the ITO site as well.
