As a parent, the hardest part of getting my child to revise is knowing that they have enough resources on hand to succeed. I'm very satisfied that this GCSE guide for Macbeth provides everything all in one place. It's specifically designed for the AQA exams and the exam style questions and knowledge retrieval sections are excellent. It shouldn't be underestimated that marking is an important part of the revision experience as that's the feedback that shows you what you need to improve and how to do it. The exam-style questions at the back of the guide have answer guides (online, pdf available via QR code) that are simple to understand and full sample essays for many of them to see exactly how you could put your knowledge into a good quality answer.
