So clearly laid out and thorough, thank you!
This has been a lifesaver bearing in mind how little guidance there is on the new exam. I used it with my students on Friday and they really liked how it was broken down and genuinely seemed to understand 'facets' better afterwards. Loved the model answer as a real worked example too. Thank you!
