was going to say willow is it for an nvq, did mine few weeks back on assessors laptop
more a case of just getting as far as you can as they get harder and i think after about
3 or 4 wrong on trot quiz chucks you out. My nvq in customer service is level2, but
passed at manager level 3 the maths and english. maths ok but english always been
more of a struggle. when went to college/poly took 3 attempts to get o level pass even
though go plenty of other o's and and an a level in computing. ended up paying a private
tutor to get my english then only scrapped a pass at c!
