Quicker way to restore database to a certain point

I've created a copy of a production database. This copy will be used to test new changes to the site which will include changes to the database schema, new data, etc.

I want to be able to restore this test database to its initial stage in case the tests fail so I can work on the changes and try again. The database is quite big so I'm trying to avoid mysqldump.

What would be the best way to restore the database to a certain point? I'm using AWS RDS so I have limited access to the data files, because otherwise I was thinking of creating a copy of the data files which I would use if I need to revert the database.

Any suggestions?
