The content is excellent. It is very suitable to the target audience as it gives them all of the necessary ‘keys to success’, such as how to interpret case studies, how to respond to the data analysis questions and the importance of paying attention to the command words that would be used. The activities and questions are the highlights of the resource.

This is a well resourced resource that will effectively prepare students for their Unit 1 examination. It provides students with exam technique and allows them to practice a range of different questions, with a range of different support on offer for them. I liked how the resource broke down the examination into chapters which will make it easier for student's to access. The resource starts by outlining to students what to expect in the exam and common mistakes that can made. The resource is also extremely realistic as it makes students aware that the exam is heavily time constrained and it does give student's tips on how to manage their time effectively. The command words are explained in a simple manner, and also include realistic examples of how they will be used in the examination... [they] are also linked to how they will be used with links to the specification. The resource also makes it clear to student's how they will gain marks and gives specific information such as not just outlining the question to avoid. This resource will allow student's to focus on their examination technique and practice realistic examination techniques. It can be completed independently and/or with teacher support and will allow student's to ensure that they can effectively demonstrate their knowledge.
