ITEC A&P Past exam papers

I'm puzzled why your tutor can't come up with something! How about contacting ITEC directly and asking them if they have stuff available, since they will have set the questions for past exams. There is a lot of info online about A&P - and quite a few tutorials via YouTube.

Thank you, I've been directed to the exam paper on the ITEC site but that only has 10 Qs. I hadn't thought about approaching ITEC directly, so I'll try that. I've checked online, and have numerous apps on my phone.
Thanks for your help 🙂

VTherapies, hope this will help you greatly. Let me know.

Best of luck on your exam
