Comprehensive exercises

Each worksheet comprises a complete range of exercises — multiple-choice,

structured and free-response — to give you all the practice you need. The
questions are designed to support learning with understanding and give you a firm
grounding in conceptual understanding. Challenging questions are indicated with an
asterisk(*). A Trial Examination at the end will further build your exam confidence.
