Use a guide, then try one small change

These guides are written for GCSE and A-level students in the UK and the adults supporting them. Each gives a concrete example and a manageable next step. Qualification-specific facts are linked to primary sources where relevant.

The examples are suggestions for planning and practice, not proof of improved grades. Use them alongside your teacher’s feedback, your actual specification and the resources your school recommends. See our editorial policy for how the content is prepared and corrected.
