Thanks a mill for these. Did you sit skin and eye care papers, business, makeup, waxing ? Any tips would be much appreciated!
thanks
Hi Harty!
I sat waxing & business months back. Found the latter really tough but waxing was straight forward! When it came to skin & eye and make-up (on 17 & 18 June) I took a gamble and searched the forums for the very latest papers to be added by students & sure enough they were the current ones ITEC were using! Others have already added them so if you have come across the skin/eye paper with the 'macule' question & where 7 DEHYDRO CHOLESTROL is found - that was it! Make-up had lots of corrective questions & was also the latest to be added. I think there were only about 20 odd questions added by students though. Sorry I can't remember more!
I'm over ITEC in a big way. The practical examiner was a dragon! Roll on my last exams Friday & I'm off to the southern hemisphere to set up my own salon!
Good luck & remember to always stick with your 1st multi choice answer!
