VITTA should supply a separate exam for Unit 2, as they did for Unit 1 as most schools have end of semester exams rather than just end of year exams. This also caters for students who didn’t do Unit 1 and have picked up IT in Unit 2. I hope there are sufficient requests via this list (and direct emails) to ensure this happens.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
