“They can essentially leave an exam and they know full well they’ve got a certain amount of marks in the bag.”
“They [the students] were quite excited for them to be honest. I used to use it in my year 11 lesson last year, when I had a top set year 11, so when I would get it out there was interest they were looking at it like “oh can I have a look” and so when it came to the fact about buying them, they just did.”
