In the fortnight or so before you sit the exam, it is helpful to attempt a Practice Paper of 62 questions.
This will give you practice in tackling the exam - in other words, how to make the best use of the 2 hours allowed to get top marks.
It will also be useful revision.

One question in Paper 2 is about Reference Levels of RF radiation. The options are given in terms of power flux density. However, the Syllabus quotes field strength. Sorry about that.
