The questions are multiple choice when you sit the exam ! And they are in note form and if the dont make sense you could go look into the subject so u know that you understand that topic ! Its been put here for a bit of a resource just what type of content is in the exam !

Chris watkins - maybe pay a bit more attention at work (as you are on an NVQ

what has that got to do with anything ?

Well, I should take more time to read what you put, sorry on31ll, perhaps you could make it a bit clearer what such a long list of questions is on here for.
I don't think I would be posting these just in case the Guilds were to find & started to ask how you had access to all them on-line questions.
