• Each lesson begins with knowledge recall that is self-assessed.

• There is also a Personalised Learning Checklist (PLC) that breaks the specification down into its constituent parts and tracks what exam questions have been asked for each topic. This reveals what topics seem to be asked multiple times and allows students to practise those questions.
