A really supportive yet challenging assessment that worked perfectly across our whole Year 7 cohort. What a time-saver! The student help tips were spot on and made the task much more accessible. The mark scheme was a doddle to use, which made marking quick and clear. Loved that it was editable, we added our school’s logo and department quote easily. Thank you!
