What do teachers say about this resource? (12586)

A solid resource with a range of activities which are organised well... There are some excellent examples of essays with a range of opportunities for alternative questions... Really liked the exam questions, worked examples and the support with essay plans... It’s good for those who are revising and offers opportunities for students and teachers to experience some variety and a range of different perspectives/examples of “good practice”. It will raise students’ grades effectively!

K Emmerson, Lead Practitioner & Peer Reviewer

A useful resource... I really liked the range of exam questions and the suggested content - this would be incredibly helpful for the teacher... There were a range of useful revision strategies... The practice essay questions would give both teachers and pupils a very comprehensive and extensive range of questions that could be used for revision purposes: both for teachers to discuss with pupils in class but also for pupils to plan and prepare responses themselves... The resource expertly matched and interpreted the specification: I particularly liked the breakdown of info so that pupils could clearly see what information could be used to target each AO... The resource was comprehensive and contained some excellent tasks and activities to help prepare pupils for the examination and could be used either by pupils alone or by a teacher as part of a revision unit
