18th Edition Mock Exam 1
Free paperC&G 2382-26 format · 60 questions · 120 minutes · 60% pass · open book
Sit a full 60-question 18th Edition mock exam free, timed at the real 120 minutes. Paper 1 is the diagnostic: find out where you actually stand before you book.
Paper 1 is the one to sit first, and it costs nothing. Sixty questions, two hours on the clock, open book, every one a single answer from four — the same shape as the C&G 2382-26 assessment. Sit it cold, before any revision, and treat the result as a map rather than a verdict: the pattern of what you missed tells you which parts of the regulations to drill.
Almost everyone who fails the real thing fails on time, not knowledge. Two hours across sixty questions is two minutes each, and a single stubborn lookup can eat five. Sitting a full-length paper under the clock teaches the discipline the syllabus never mentions: flag it, move on, come back.
Every question is written by us against BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 and tagged to the amendment it reflects, so the Amendment 4 ground — energy storage, ICT functional earthing, Power over Ethernet — is in the paper rather than bolted on. Nothing here is recycled from a past paper, and nothing here appears in our lessons: the papers are drawn from a bank the learning path never serves, so the score is about an unseen paper rather than about what you can remember answering last week.
- BS 7671 navigation under time pressure
- Protection for safety and selection and erection
- Inspection, testing, special locations and Amendment 4:2026

- How long is 18th Edition Mock Exam 1 and how many questions?
- 60 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, each one answer from four options, which is the C&G 2382-26 shape. That is two minutes a question, and the paper is open book — you may consult BS 7671 throughout, exactly as you can in the real assessment. None of the questions appear in our lessons.
- What is the pass mark for 18th Edition Mock Exam 1?
- 60% — 36 of 60 — which is the mark the real C&G 2382-26 assessment is set at. Your result is broken down by area afterwards so you can see which ground to revisit.
- Is 18th Edition Mock Exam 1 free?
- Yes — this paper is sittable in full on the free tier. You need a free account so the result can be saved and reviewed, but there is no card and no trial countdown.
- Is the free 18th Edition mock exam really the full paper?
- Yes. Paper 1 is a complete 60-question, 120-minute mock on the free tier — not a five-question taster. You need a free account so your result can be saved and reviewed afterwards, but no card.
- What score should I be aiming for in a mock?
- The C&G 2382-26 pass mark is 60%, so 36 of 60. Treat anything under about 70% in a mock as a signal to keep drilling: exam-day nerves and an unfamiliar screen cost most people a few marks they had in the bank.
