Letts GCSE Geography 2003/2004 Edition

Letts

The Letts range of GCSE titles are revision courses on CD-ROM covering every exam board. Each title is designed with the specific course in mind--you cannot revise the same way for each subject (as there are no set "right" or "wrong" answers in English, unlike Chemistry for example). Once the program has been installed (please note you will still need to put the CD in the drive due to the large amount of content) you will need to log in as a user. Multiple users can be entered and all individual scores and progress will be stored. You're now ready to revise. The main screen provides three main options-Revision, Progress and Mock Exam. "Revision" is broken into the main study sections and includes exam and revision hints and tips. "Progress" is where you'll find the records of results, how much content you've covered and which areas need more practice. The "Mock Exam" includes the answers, so you can test yourself first or run through the paper and view the answers at the same time. As well, the software comes with a manual that's also available online within the program, a timer which allows you to set limits for revision sessions and a pop-up notebook. Titles available in the Letts GCSE range are Maths, English, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, French, German and Spanish.

Dorling Kindersley Ltd

There must be a certain art to passing exams that is surely picked up with experience over time. Time, however, is what most revision students don't have much of. To build that necessary confidence and knowledge without such an advantage, Dorling Kindersley has devised a series of GCSE CD-ROMs, which it hopes will ensure a grade C or above in the subject. Its revision programs--covering the syllabuses of all examining boards--are designed to focus the student's existing classroom knowledge, which is reinforced by easily accessible definitions and key points. It also creates real exam conditions and practice in the form of quick-fire test questions under time restrictions, with immediate feedback on the results. Past papers and model answers are also available online.
Like DK's other GCSE study software, GCSE Geography makes for an effective revision package. Its most outstanding quality, however, is the relevance and wealth of visual images--ordnance survey maps, weather maps and symbols, graphs, diagrams, and photographs--that accompany the succinctly written points and advice. While it is not designed to replace text books or facts learnt in the classroom, this CD ROM comes into its own in the "Choose your test" section. Pick from the range of topics, sections, and then categories, select the number of questions you wish to answer (from a maximum of 1,648 questions), specify the time limit, and then practise your exam skills and levels of visual accuracy by answering the questions that the software sets you. --Susannah Steel
