Testing yourself is proven to boost memory, so you will start each chapter by answering a Knowledge Test, to see what you know and where you have gaps. > Spend time on what matters. Having completed the Knowledge Tests, you can plan a really efficient revision programme, which focuses on your weaker topics and will make the biggest difference to your grade. > Close the gaps. The 'Core Content' pages improve your knowledge of the topics that you need to revise. Research proves that we remember something better if it's presented through text and images, so these pages use bullet points and cartoon memory aids to summarise the important knowledge 'takeaways'. > Show what you know. The 'Exam Practice' pages explain what to do with the knowledge you have gained and how to apply it in the exams. Practice questions and exam tips help you to feel confident answering each question type.
