DESCRIPTION
Drawing on my experience as a teacher and extensive analysis of past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports, I’ve created ‘model answer’ notes that cover every point on the AQA specification (including required practicals).
These notes are presented in an easy-to-use Q&A format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy.
After each sub-topic, you’ll find a list of common mistakes that will help you beat those specific mark schemes.
Having refined these over the last 3 years alongside working as a teacher, I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable tool to you.
