What do teachers say about this resource? (9170)

A fantastic revision tool which clearly sets out the requirements of the exam... I think that [the writing frameworks] are perhaps the most useful part of the resource... An incredibly useful resource... it is student and teacher friendly offering a range of useful revision activities. It is clear where different AO’s are addressed. I particularly like the student friendly mark scheme... a great resource
