This unique guide combines understanding with practice, using the following proven, three-step method:

📌Understand
First, each question is comprehensively deconstructed and explained. Students are provided with detailed notes on what kind of question will be asked, why it will be asked and what the examiners will be looking for in their responses.

📌Apply
Next, students are given the opportunity to apply this understanding by working through a guided practice question (very similar to the one they will face in the final examination) that has been extensively annotated to help them refine their approach and answers.

📌
Reinforce
Students can then test and reinforce their skills by working through a practice question without assistance.

This step-by-step process is repeated for every question and both papers, enabling students to build a solid platform of understanding and familiarity quickly and methodically.
