What do teachers say about this resource? (9807)

The 4 papers are indicative of the style that has been published on the AQA specimen papers. There is so much theory content to cover while teaching and these papers make candidates think of all aspects of the course including their NEA. It is always a bonus to be able to link their thinking across NEA and theory. The papers cover all of the main categories within the specification. They cover the maths aspects incredibly well in particular. A big thankyou to the creator of this resource for us DT teachers who don’t have the time to.

The format closely followed that of the SAMs for the subject, helping students to gain familiarity with the look and feel of the paper. Subject coverage was good, and questions were at the right depth of knowledge for the specification. It’s really useful to be able to have a resource like this for mocks, exam prep and which can be easily used by cover teachers if a teacher is absent.

A great resource, carefully prepared and well presented. Each question is mapped clearly against spec. Papers appear in the same style as exam board. A really worthwhile resource - research suggests that practice questions is one of the best ways for students to adopt retrieval practice.
