would just like to say a BIG thank you for anyone who has put up old questions from exam papers. I had to resit my theory today.. after failing twice already and it does help to test yourself on the questions. Lots of questions on muscle insertions, origins and actions... always go blank when it comes to the multiple choice bits! Lets hope i pass it this time.. Thanks once again.
