Student Guide for Written Knowledge Assessment
Overview of AssessmentThis is a written assessment task you will be assess on your knowledge of diagnosing and repairing instruments and warning systems. The topics that will be covered in the assessment are: Prepare to diagnose and repair instruments and warning systemsDiagnose instruments and warning system Repair instruments and warning system Complete work processes This assessment will ensure that the elements, performance criteria, performance evidence and knowledge evidence required, and conditions are adhered to demonstrate competency in this unit assessment task. Read the assessment carefully before commencing.Your Assessor will use the assessment criteria in this document and will provide feedback / comment. You MUST answer all the questions in the assessment tasks in your own words and own handwriting. This is an “Open Book” assessment, and students can use the resources listed in the “Resources Required” section below.
Task/s to be assessedTo complete this written assessment, you will need to answer the 58 questions comprising of Multiple Choice, True and False, Fill-in the Gap and Short Answer questions.
Time allowedOn average, the Assessment should take 4 – 6 hours to complete.
LocationThis theory assessment will be completed in a classroom under the supervision of a trainer/assessor.
Decision making rulesTo receive a ‘satisfactory’ outcome for this assessment students MUST successfully answer all questions. If a student achieves less than 100%, they can reattempt the assessment after further study has taken place. Students who cannot achieve a minimum of 100% you will not have satisfactorily completed this assessment Your assessor will be looking for the following in this assessment task: – Work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to diagnosing and repairing instruments and warning systems, including procedures for working with high current wiring systems Operating principles of instruments and warning systems and associated components, including types of instruments, gauges and warning systems Application, purpose and operation of instruments and warning systems and components, including: Instrument panel construction Panel illumination Magnetic and thermal gauges Voltage regulators Mechanical gauges Digital electronic gauges and systems Warning lights and indicators Diagnostic testing procedures for instruments and warning systems, including: Accessing and interpreting scan tool system data, including: Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) Live data Freeze frame data Waveforms Using diagnostic flow charts Testing electrical systems, including procedures for: Accessing electrical terminals and using test probes without damaging connectors, fuse holders or wiring Checking resistance, current flow and voltage instruments and warning systems Repair procedures for instruments and warning systems, including: Tightening connections Replacing faulty or damaged cable connections Removing and replacing faulty or damaged components Post-repair testing procedures for instruments and warning systems, including: DTC clearing procedures Checking for electrical connector mating Undertaking static and dynamic performance tests of instruments and warning systems, including test-driving procedures.
Assessment conditionsAssessors MUST satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.  Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.  Assessment MUST include direct observation of tasks.  Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals MUST provide evidence that links them to the instruments and warning systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.  Assessors MUST verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.  The following resources MUST be made available:  Automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace Workplace instructions Manufacturer instrument and warning system specifications Two different vehicles, vessels or machinery with instrument and warning system faults Diagnostic equipment for instruments and warning systems, including multimeter Tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing vehicle, vessel or machinery instruments and warning systems.

Results/Re-assessmentThe Assessor will grade the assessment and record the result on the front page of this document (S) – Satisfactory if all observable behaviours are correct and (NS) not satisfactory if any areas are left incorrectFeedback will be provided on either resultWhere a student receives a ‘NS – Not Satisfactory’ result, the assessor will discuss the area of the non-compliant observable behaviour and an opportunity given for re-assessment. This may be through direct observation or a different method of assessment e.g. verbal/oral questioning, problem solving exercise. If the outcome is again not satisfactory the student result will be deemed (NYC) not yet competent. Additional feedback will be given, and a time agreed upon for further assessment after additional training and skills practice has taken place, this information will be recorded, dated and signed in the re-assessment area on the last page of this documentWhere all the assessment tasks have been graded (S) Satisfactory, the student will be deemed C – Competent for the practical component and the result recorded and signed in the area indicated on the last page of this document
Reasonable AdjustmentIf the participant is unable to undertake the written assessment as designed, an interview (verbal questioning) may be used as an alternate approach.
