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

•** Relevant past exam questions are included, with mark schemes, for each lesson**. So, you will teach the lesson and, at the end of the lesson are past exam questions (where applicable).

• 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 practice those questions.
