The Science Behind It
This resource is rooted in cognitive science and evidence-based teaching principles:
• Retrieval practice: strengthens long-term memory through repeated recall.
• Spaced learning: revisits content gradually across the 11 quizzes to improve retention.
• Interleaving: alternates between different subtopics so pupils can make links and apply knowledge flexibly.
• Low-stakes format: reduces anxiety and boosts confidence by creating a safe environment for recall and review.

Ideal For:
• AQA GCSE Religious Studies (Paper 1: Islam Beliefs and Teachings)
• Year 10 and 11 students preparing for exams
• Learn Now or lesson starter activities
• Homework, revision or end-of-topic consolidation
• Teacher assessment of understanding and recall
