(Please note this title is also available for AQA) “The Scholastic resources go into far more detail than some of the other revision guides we have used and I’ve not seen any other resources that have an app linked to them. We would definitely recommend the resources to other schools. Everything you need to revise is in one place to enable students to work independently.” Dave Richardson, Deputy Head [in reference to the GCSE English Language & Literature and Mathematics revision guides and exam practice books]

“What they thought was especially clever is the resources ‘knowing’ the day of their exam, and then highlighting what they needed to do and when in the days and weeks leading up to it. That captured them there and then.” Dave Richardson, Deputy Head [Read the full case study from Brentwood County High School]
