The test papers are really useful to embed each chapter and subject area. They can be completed outside of the lesson and help students to revise a topic. They are accessible for all A level students to work on, clearly laid out and it is good to have the mark scheme answers. It is an excellent revision tool and to test their knowledge. It saves a lot of time writing your own test/worksheets for students to work from. It matches the specification for A level fashion and textiles really well.
