Just bought the exam practice above, waiting for the key.
I also found this and I am finding it good to make sure I have covered all the areas a college should cover when training us, good for revision also I think as you can go through it and make sure you know every area (or at least know where to find it as its open book n all)....so thought post... might help someone.
