We used booklets for Biology and Physics, and 'Coaching Booklets' for History when I did GCSEs. Even at A-levels we use booklets for 2 of my subjects (Chemistry and Biology)! They were/are fantastic and way quicker to fill in the blanks with the core pieces of knowledge for the course. The Coaching Booklet for History was just filled with past paper questions, along with models for each style of question we had (i.e. how to structure the 4,8,12, and 20 markers). In the weeks leading up to the exam, I would do loads of these and give them to my teacher to mark which I genuinely believe is how I got a 9 in History.
I'm planning to make similar ones for A-levels (especially for English Lit and Maths) so this article is very useful, thanks Mr Salles!
Ahh Dominic - thank you SO much for this! This is just what I’ve been hoping for, as I hope to return to the classroom one day pre-armed with booklets and I couldn’t ask for more than this. A fantastic ‘WAGOLL’! You really are awesome 😊!

I love how in depth you think about your learning Blue. Good luck with creating the booklets.

I wrote it because you requested it. But, I will use it when I train English teams in particular. I'm glad you like it - it was a great suggestion.
❤️ Schools and English teams that get to work with you are very, very lucky.
