An Inspector Calls York Notes For GCSE 2

SO glad I purchased this study guide! I was teaching the work for the first time and it had numerous details I used

I have been told that this is very useful by my daughter who is using it to help her revise so that is all I need to know!

Very good. Currently doing my GCSEs and it's been very helpful so far. It explores the different themes of the play in detail and explains the context of the setting, which is sometimes necessary if you want to get the highest grades in exams. I would rate the York notes version more highly than the CGP. I have both and definitely think that the York notes are better.

My son's English teacher recommended the York notes and workbooks as 'being the best' to help him study and navigate the new English GCSE syllabus. Since the introduction of the new grading system of 1-9 (9 being the A* equivalent and not 1, go figure!) this year attaining a higher grade has never been more important, especially as this year the grading system is only applicable to Maths and English exams. It won't be confusing at all having numbers and letters on your CV, now will it? Thanks Mr Gove! Glad to see you got yours! The study guide has focused my son's efforts and given him specific points and targets as sadly these exams are about answering questions in a set way and not being creative at all, useful if you want to be a robot! I won't be able to comment on their effectiveness until August '17 but I do know that these well-written, concise guides will have helped him to prepare for whatever is going to be contained on those papers.

I studied the book last year but my exam is this summer, so I had forgotten most of the stuff. Panicking, I ordered this revision guide. Didn't expect much from it at first because most revision guides I've used to date are frankly useless. But after reading this in one sitting along with the play, I surprised myself by being able to complete a past paper question from my exam board in 45 minutes. I found the 'Aiming High' sections particularly useful as they give you original ideas for thought and they link together different themes. There is not enough information for this to be your sole guide for the exam - you still need to read the play to draft your own analysis and interpretations. Nevertheless, at around 5 pounds, I'd say this is a bargain.

Good quality
