What do teachers say about this resource? (9487)

A good selection of questions, with a simple to follow layout. Clear diagrams, graphs and a variety of command words used. The length was suitable. The amount of questions per paper was even throughout the resource ... I particularly liked the variety of questions. The fact that this could be printed in a simple format for pupils to complete on lined paper, making these reusable ... This resource focuses in nicely on the higher level command words in the 9 mark questions. This will enhance learning as these are not previously seen in examinations. Educationally the resource allows teachers to effectively test pupils grasp of specific areas of the specification

The mark scheme is well detailed and follows that expected by AQA. The balance between application of knowledge and just presenting knowledge questions is good.

The questions are leaning towards an accurate reflection of what the examination will look like and that the questions follow the same format, particularly in terms of the distribution of marks. The mark schemes are clear and mirror the AQA mark schemes One of the most powerful ways for students to assess their learning is through real exam questions and being able to self-assess and I feel that this resource does just that!
