Answers
AOR look for things to be much more specific than ITEC A&P. They take the first answer you put down and the look for a point for each mark awarded for the question.
These answers are mine

Hi to all AOR students
Here's a link that should be in this section for all you other stressed AOR Students.
Your tutors have probably told you about it but just in case, the ABC awarding body that sets(?) the AOR reflexology paper has 3 specimen papers and 3 specimen answer papers on it's website that you can download.
The link is http://www.abcawards.co.uk/health.html
Hope it helps. I'm up on the 19th of may and I need all the practice I can get.
Wish me luck.

Hi Setanta
Hope all went well for you.
Thank you for the link . . . sadly I missed the specimen papers and answers, apparently, ABC took these off pretty sharpish (not sure why). They recently put up a five page document with "exam style" questions for A & P (available from same link).
Were you (or anyone out there) lucky enough to be among the select few who managed to get a copy of the specimen papers and answers? I'd be grateful for a quick peak 🙂
Thank you
