This title adopts a 'keep-it-simple' approach, enabling students to work through the tests and assimilate knowledge, gaining the skills required to succeed in optional tests and SATs. Carefully structured to provide built-in differentiation and progression for students, it allows for texts to be mediated and for students to work alone, providing step-by-step advice and help throughout. The accompanying Teacher's Resources contain advice, answers, photocopiable supplementary tests, and worksheets.
