AO1 content is presented clearly, while AO3 evaluation is structured using PEEL paragraphs, making it especially useful for planning and writing 16-mark essays. Students frequently describe these resources as invaluable, and I have seen how they consistently help improve grades and exam performance.
Important: These notes cover the 2026 exam specification, and much of the content remains relevant for 2027+ exams, although some topics have been removed in the updated specification. Students should check their current specification to ensure full coverage.
