RE: A&P, man and ped AND waxing!!!!

Hi Farzana, can't help with your question I'm afraid but I did do VTCT A & P if that's any help depends on which you are doing as ITEC is a bit different. In any case all the very best with everything, you can do it girl!!!

If it is VTCT please feel free to get intouch if you need any help.

unit 9 10 and 11 itec exam just done it!

hi

cant remember all of the questions but i know i spent lodza my revision time on mussles bones etc but there were hardly any questions on them so revise ingredients contraindications.

on make up there was a lot of product ingredients questions that i kicked myself for not knowing and also face shapes and shading lots and lots on these but luckly i revised a huge amount so i was prepaired a lot of the girls on my course think they have bad marks for make-up and good for mani but i am the other way round!!

mani pedi the first question was about the flexors and extensors and i dont know if i got that correct!
also the line in french manicure at the tip of the nail what is it called the lunar line
smile line
white line

all of the exams at the begining 3 to 5 questions were hard but then they got easyer!
well i think its coz i revised so much.

if i remember anything else i will post hope this has helped a bit!
i have my professional bisness aND waxing on sat!!!

also remember to read through them more than once as a few of my group made silly mistakes and on reflection we are gutted to miss a mark by not reading it properly!

Hello Sandra88 and welcome to Healthypages 🙂

This is an old thread going back 5 years, so it's unlikely that you'll receive a reply.

In the meantime, perhaps introduce yourself in the new members forum, where I'm sure you'll recieve a warm welcome.

VTCT Mani and Pedi Exam

Hi

Does anyone have any ideas on questions post 2005/2007+

Taking a VTCT nail tech course. I am familiar with these Q+A's and wondered if these kind of exam questions would be similar currently. Is the A&P and the theory manicure done at the same time?

Thanks for any advice.
