Very good, wide range of questions. Good explanations of the options, did not just give the correct answer... I liked the range and the difficulty of the questions.

Good range of questions at appropriate level... Core knowledge and understanding assessment.

CD provided of powerpoints with the answers on them allowed me to work through with the students and reveal the answers; linked to AQA specification; students really appreciated the reasoning why this was the correct answer... Specific for AQA specification; reasons for incorrect / correct answers really helped develop the students understanding... Excellent and well worth the money; great practice for MCQs on paper 3; can use for assessment purposes; provides answers and reasoning.

It is always useful to have more multiple choice questions to practice with. I like the idea of the accompanying powerpoint too as this make the resources more useable... It helps students (and teachers) to think about the topics. By getting the students to explain the answers it helps to deepen their understanding... I enjoyed doing all the questions and thinking about the answers. Some of the questions were very tricky and I think they give challenge to students.

The questions are usefully linked to the specification. The layout is simple but effective. The need to articulate answers rather than guess is also helpful.
