My "to do" list showed a blog between the last NEBOSH exam and Christmas. Somehow, it wasn't written. I think after the exam I went into some minor form of shock. Not shock of the exam. It was ok, although I hated the discussion afterwards when I started to realise that I'd probably "described" whilst the question had asked me to "state" or that "factors" doesn't mean "write everything you can think of about this subject". No, it was the shock that all around me people had been buying Christmas presents, writing cards and arranging parties for weeks! I had done nothing about Christmas. Unless I found some skates to put on, everyone would be receiving satsumas, chocolates and anything else the local supermarket provided. So somehow, the blog was laid aside in the escalation of shopping, writing, carol services and Christingles.
Now Christmas is over (cards are coming down this evening) I can reflect properly on the exams. I don't feel that on the day I performed as well as I could have done. Although I'd worked through previous exam questions at home, no one had ever marked them, so I didn't know if I was answering in the right way. My advice to anyone choosing a NEBOSH course for the future is to make sure there is a mock exam included, run under exam conditions, marked by someone who understands how NEBOSH mark, with feedback provided in time to adjust your technique before the exam.
