My students were really struggling with the NEA aspect of the AQA A Level. The aim of the book is to help guide the students with the NEA whilst allowing them to independently tackle it at home especially in the summer holidays.
It includes 3 approved NEA questions which are used at my school but this is easily editable if you are changing to fit your school questions.
This is a 60 page booklet which contains guidance, advice, exemplars and activities for students to complete.
There is a contents page at the beginning which lists the following page information:
