I am clearly very slow at six minutes!

It took a lot longer to figure out the 'housekeeping' on the Improve website. More luck than judgement negotiating their pretty awful website!

Not sure how useful an exercise the whole thing is but Brexit enquiries have kept me more than on my toes recently!!

Exam pretty straight forward, 3'32", just lots of acronyms to untangle...

I did mine this afternoon. At least one third of the questions had sweet FA to do with small animal Pet passports and export certificates

Still passed though, but had to guess at a fair few

I’ve done all the online cpd and care lots today. Didn’t happen when I was on call but the deadline change has made me get my butt in gear. It took much longer than expected, but just the exam to go. I found the website really difficult to follow, it kept taking me to the beginning so I had to log in again. Then a reference to a model question that I took ages to find.

The case logs were ok, but again it took me some time to spot all the mistakes (I used their case examples). All in all several hours of my life I won’t get back but I guess it’s all cpd. Thank goodness we don’t have to do it too often.

3 minutes 28 seconds [not that it's a competion!] that would have been better spent having a nice cup of tea! At least that's done for the next 5 years. And depressing to think the passport bit may be totally irrelevant shortly.

Just did mine in 10 minutes this afternoon (and that includes going back to their information as I'd skipped through a couple of the videos ).

Just got to sit down and do their case log bits now, won't take long when I can be bothered.

Hi, I replied to this on another thread. They will still need a blood test to return to the EU from the UK, but if the blood test is carried out in the EU, no need for the 3 months wait and presumably no need for the EHC.

Not sure if this is covered by APHA but are pets travelling on EU issued passports allowed to travel?

If a pet has a Spanish passport and is up to date with rabies is it likely to be treated differently when returning/travelling to the EU?

(I am assuming that it will be treated as if the pet had gone to any other unlisted country)

I have Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I think it was Firefox that worked...started on Chrome.

I've never had a problem with Firefox.

The exam is easy... but take care with your browser.

I was sitting the exam with invigilator and clock ticking. I could see the questions and the answers but could not tick the boxes!

Had to change browsers ... (luckily it did let me do so). Extremely poorly programmed! It should let you know what browsers it will be compatible with before you start!

[/quote]so which browser was a problem?

I've done so many of these now, it's noddy stuff. Honestly, relax.

Which webinar?

RE: OV Revalidation Companion Animal Online Exam

Joyce Whitehead — Fri, 22 Mar 2019 19:50:03 GMT

One of my colleagues has, said it was generally common sense and followed the rules of what she had learned. She said they put a few twists in to try to trip you up. I’m doing the webinar this weekend as I’m on call, not particularly looking forward to it!
