Save valuable preparation time

Evaluating students’ knowledge and understanding of key topic areas in preparation for GCSE and Standard Grade can be time-consuming and frustrating. This pack is designed to aid busy teachers to gather questions quickly for class tests or homework and thus ensure that students are reaching the required level before the exams.

Ideal for GCSE and Standard Grade

Questions have not been placed in any specific order, as this will depend on the detail of response given by the student. Also marks have not been given for questions as this allows the students to concentrate more upon the detail for development rather than obtaining a mark. Answers have been provided so that students can check their own answers quickly and accurately.

Using the quick-fire tests creates an enjoyable way of learning. For teachers, it frees up time and enables them to concentrate on other areas of the curriculum.

Student sheets are also included on various topics to help increase students' understanding of drama conventions and technology.

Note that this product is also available as part of KS3/GCSE Drama Network Resources.
