I really like the range of questions and the variety of genres and different musical styles that are addressed... The presentation of each question is very good with regard to how a comparable question on an exam paper would look. This should ensure that, even visually, students become accustomed to what to expect... The advice in the students introduction is superb and will go a long way to serving pupils of all abilities... The range of questions on offer throughout the resource and the skills that it challenges are a very good match for the exam specification.... Great for enhancing musical learning across all aspects of a music course!
A useful resource... It gives [students] the opportunity to go through several GCSE-style exam questions and experience the pressure of real-time conditions.
Good! A useful resource for helping students to prepare for these questions in the exam... very similar in style to the specimen paper examples.
