Product reviews for Exam Literacy

Jake Hunton's timely book makes clear from the outset that exam literacy should be comprised of much more than a flimsy understanding of the exam paper's format or the way the questions are worded. In a national climate in which increasingly desperate teachers and school leaders embark on a yearly merry-go-round of revision sessions, -˜period sixes' and targeted interventions, Jake draws on his extensive reading of cognitive science research to offer realistic, alternative approaches that are grounded in evidence-informed, pragmatic and actionable advice.

A real strength of Exam Literacy is Jake's ability to marry his understanding of the evidence with his understanding of how the exam system operates in English schools. His advice, therefore, can be taken straight off the page and applied with immediate effect in the classroom.

This book deserves pride of place in every secondary school's CPD library.
