Dorling Kindersley
GCSE Biology 2001/2002

Dorling Kindersley Ltd

This Biology CD from the Dorling Kindersley GCSE revision series is designed to run on a Windows (NT5, 95 or 98, or 2000) platform on a PC with at least Pentium 75MHz speed, or on a Macintosh with System 7.6.1 or later. It provides the user with the ability to tailor revision for particular tiers of Biology study within the GCSE framework (including differences for Scotland and Ireland), and distinguishes between the curriculum for 2001 and 2002.
The content presentation is straightforward and linked visually. For example key biological facts--little lessons in themselves--can be pulled from a virtual filing system. These can be printed for off-line study or convenience. You can create an exam by selecting the proportion of questions in various areas, so that revision can be concentrated on particularly troublesome or complicated area. Questions (and worked examples) feature sensible multiple choice answers--sometimes with multiple answers (identifying characteristics of the natural environment, for example--and give very clear explanations of the correct solution after you have answered. Quicktime 4 is required for driving multimedia components (printing, animation and sound, for example), and this is available for installation from the same CD. --Wilf Hey

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.

The Times GCSE Biology 2003/2004 Syllabus (Full National Curriculum)

The Times

The Times Revision Series GCSE Biology is an easy-to-use and very well put together revision aid that uses Explorer and Netscape browsers. It covers 20 subject areas all based on the GCSE 2003/4 syllabus and includes tests for each topic.
It allows children to use the study plan wizard to create their own revision schedule according to their exam board, syllabus and time available. Children can choose to focus on areas of weakness, work sequentially through units of work or devise their own personal plan. Detailed reports show the child how they are doing and whether their revision schedule is on track.
The syllabus is covered in short units which are taught through explanations with text, diagrams and interactive activities. Questions take the form of multiple choice, labelling diagrams, analysis of tables graphs and text.
Children can also study examination techniques and practice these skills. There are exam practice papers covering 6 exam boards with 66 mock questions. Children can also customise their own tests from the data base of questions. Model answers are given.
The Times Revision Series GCSE Biology would be a very good buy for anyone needing help with their revision for this exam. --Amanda York
