Sadly, this really isn't worth the £9 charge - it does not include what it suggests it does.

The resources themselves are excellent: two PowerPoints that talk the students through the process, but only four comparison extracts to use as practice exercises. I do feel cheated because for £6 I would have expected many more comparison extracts for my money.
