Hi mate it's always best asking the guard can you jump on.. for the vast majority of the time they will be fine. Always best to do them the courtesy by asking rather than just jumping on though. Congratulations and hope it all goes well for you.

I seem to recall it being exactly 10 times.. I don't know if it differs at all. The only other thing I recall doing.. it wasn't something I planned to do but it seemed to help, was to kind of pull the joysticks into it's bracket which added a little friction. Seemed to slow it down for me a bit.

Be aware that when you go back, you will be asked to resit all computer parts again.. it's always good to know what you are walking into. I failed first time on that test and like you I did nothing but think about that test since. My only advice would be to not over think it. I found that...

Thanks for the replies. Its a lot to take in. Ive had a look at some of the booking sites linked but when ive looked through the discounts ans supplements there doesnt appear to choice from fip users. Can anyone recommend a booking agent so i could get a rough quote. The more that i look into...
