What do teachers say about this resource? (11743)

Detailed and a good stretch and challenge. High standard. Written concisely yet written in an engaging manner.
The answers are comprehensive. I like the structure and order of questions. I really like the weblink as it would save time. Section 17 with the graph and suggest questions are appreciated and mimic the exam style questions.
Could be used for those who are retaking A-levels to improve their knowledge.
