GCSE Biology 2001/2002
from Avanquest Software
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 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
