What do teachers say about this resource? (11110)

A very useful resource.

The range of questions was good.

Presentation was generally excellent.

[This resource] has potential to be highly valuable for pupils in preparation for exams, or a way to evaluate learning after the topic has been covered.

The mark schemes were very detailed and clearly laid out.

This resource would be excellent for teachers who are not confident with the subject matter (e.g. cover teachers/NQTs)

Questions cover a good range of musical elements, and tests pupils wider knowledge of these pieces... It is very clear which tracks are needed and the time of each extract, links are also clear for each piece... Good variety of questions which cover all the musical elements using the terminology used in the exam papers... It helps test pupils to see what they have learnt and retained, it gives pupils experience of answering exam-style questions.

Clearly laid out, set at the right level for GCSE... It includes all the different questions types you would expect on the real GCSE paper and is laid out in a similar way to help prepare pupils for their real exam... A great resource to prepare pupils for their real exam questions, it covers a wide range of topics which they should have covered so it gives the pupil and teacher a good understanding of what has been learnt and what needs to be improved on.
