Excellent, simple to use, with detailed analysis. It is better than other resources because it focuses on exactly what an exam will ask of them, with effective scene by scene analysis. It works especially well with the OCR spec.
A comprehensive resource. Clearly signposted and very useful to walk students through the text and provide them with extra support, if needed. The accessibility of the tone and clear exemplification of ideas covered worked well. The comments about context and critical reception were balanced and there was a clear sense of structure and a focus on looking closely at the text, scene by scene.
