What do teachers say about this resource? (11232)

An excellent resource with a high level of understanding of both the text and the requirements of this part of the qualification. The suggestions for structuring the response to the exam question in particular allows for students to learn this as a process and then to be able to apply it anew to questions in the examination situation... A really useful resource as it not only provides guidance for the examples given but a structure that can be applied to new questions as they encounter them... It has been created by someone who knows the text and the specification really well.

A fantastic resource that I would definitely use in my delivery of Component 3.

Extremely helpful as a teaching resource.

It is well differentiated and offers a fantastic starting point for those who are beginning to study this Component whilst also providing some valuable tools for revision of the Component.

Activities are appropriate and all information is clear and concise.

The exemplar responses are great and provide a good understanding of how levels are achieved/ what is needed for this exam.
