Exam-style questions ensure students feel confident approaching assessment. New features provide diagnostic questions and reflection opportunities. Self-evaluation checklists develop responsible learners. Dedicated support for practical skills helps students transition to Cambridge International AS & A Level. This series is written to support English as a second language learners with key command terms, key words, accessible language throughout and glossary definitions in context throughout the text.

This workbook with digital access is the perfect companion for the coursebook. The resource reinforces learning, promotes application of theory and helps students practise the essential skills of handling data, evaluating information and problem solving. The workbook includes formative exercises, mapped directly onto the coursebook. For each chapter, a range of exercises builds on the topics and concepts that have been introduced. It includes exam command terms throughout to help familiarise students with their appropriate use. Questions include a skills focus that require students to draw graphs or provide workings. Answers to the workbook are included in the digital version and the teacher’s resource. This workbook is designed to support the coursebook, with specially selected topics where students would benefit from further opportunities to apply skills, such as application, analysis and evaluation in addition to developing knowledge and understanding.
