Am doing Holistic Therapies VTCT at Tamworth College and this is the final aroma multiple choice I took today. Sorry it's not perfectly clear, didn't have time to get down all of the questions in their exact form. And take no notice of my answers, they're usually wrong!
PS took the Health & Safety yesterday, 25 questions, gotta get 15 right. Was piece of p**! Read up on types of fire extinguishers tho, and beware there's a couple of ambiguous questions!

RE: Final Internal Aromatherapy Test
Thanks for these, I shouldn't worry about the exact format, it's the kind of question they will ask that people are most bothered about, not whether the commas are in the right place!
Thanks for taking the time out to share these! And I hope you did amazingly well in your exam!
