Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for tutors/teachers
I've been tutoring History for CE for a few years now and it's a relief to finally have a book available that's specifically for the CE syllabus instead of making do with general KS3 books. Fantastic layout, good practice questions at the back, really helpful. Leaves out a couple of topics which can be annoying if they're the ones your student is studying, but still, well worth the money.
