I have gone through every Ed Excel paper from 2010- 2014 (the old spec) and listed the questions asked and the marks available. Excellent for quick referencing of past questions.

I have put together a quick activity to help them think of how to evaluate using a different scenario compared to what they might normally see in an exam.
