GCSE retake "topics" <-> timely practice layers
- Lesley Goddard
To prepare early entry candidates as effectively as possible for the November exam, timely practice put our heads together with a supporting school, whose 6th form consortium have extensive experience in preparing candidates.
The wish list of topic to cover far exceeds the 16 lessons - available before the November exams.
