Got talking to a few lads on site about this recently and it turns out most of the "everyone knows that" stuff people say about the CSCS test is actually wrong.

Two that keep coming up:

- People swear the pass mark is "about 44 out of 50." It's not, it's 45/50 exactly, no rounding.

- People think there are "leaked real questions" floating around online you can just memorise. CITB doesn't publish the actual bank, so most of what gets sold as "real leaked questions" is just guesswork dressed up.

What tripped you lot up when you sat it, or what do you wish someone had told you beforehand? Genuinely curious what the real pain points are vs the stuff people just assume.

Or should we have them replaced with newer ones? The reason i ask is we are thinking of getting solar panels and dont know whether we should install the solar panels on the old concrete marley tiles or retile the roof and then install the solar panels? We are based in ireland.

Hi everyone,
I’m a 22-year-old construction worker based in London and I’m currently looking for work.
I have experience in general construction, including painting, basic plumbing, carpentry, tiling, and general labour.
If anyone needs a reliable and hardworking person, or knows of any available work, please send me a private message.
I’m available to start immediately.
Thank you!

I'm 24, based in London, and currently working as a labourer. I'm looking to move into something else but not sure exactly what direction to go. I've been thinking about aiming for a supervisor role, or possibly training as a plumber, or something similar. Not sure which path makes more sense

Any advice would be great, thanks.
