February 15, 2025
A Different strategy is needed for the NEBOSH Open Book Examination (OBE) than for the conventional closed book format. Learners must successfully analyse, assess, and apply their knowledge even though they have access to resources. However, many learners make common mistakes that can impact their results. Here are the key mistakes on your NEBOSH Exam.

Without analysis, copying and pasting the same content in poor grades or even plagiarism issues. Such Actions will be considered Malpractice.
Poor Situation Assessment
A workplace scenario serves as the foundation for the questions on every exam. General responses that don’t satisfy the making requirements may arise from a failure to fully examine this situation and essential health and safety principles.
