    would a lot of marks be deducted for not getting it fully finished?

    Just to note folks - the SEC monitor Boards quite closely every year and this year is no exception. They've already been in touch with me about this thread in particular and have asked me to keep an eye on it. I would urge all of you not to be giving any information out - if the SEC presents us with the correct paperwork for your details, and the details of any private messages you've sent or received about this, we have no choice but to hand it over and that may not end well for you. As a precaution, I'm editing a couple of posts above.

    These are State exams folks - serious business.

    If I were you I'd definitely learn passive housing. It's not too bad to learn and they love asking it in the last few years! Other than that ur flying I'd say!

    I'm not sure exactly what it goes under, it's like all about air tightness, mechanical heat recovery system, geothermal heating, solar energy and all that sort of thing:) of you had time it wouldn't be a bad idea to have look over septic tanks and alternative in the water tank! Out teacher thinks that has a good chance of coming up:)
