There has been a few questions regarding the 'End of Unit' benchmark test.
Please be informed that we still have one more unit to complete (this will hopefully be completed by the end of week 8) and then we will spend week 9 doing revisions and touching up on all needed areas.
The end of the unit exam will take place in week 10.

The exam will be set out in the following order:
Part 1:
