KODO's AQA GCSE English revision is built around the AQA GCSE English Language & Literature specification, so every question matches what your exam board actually tests. It covers Language Paper 1: Creative Reading & Writing, Language Paper 2: Viewpoints & Perspectives, Shakespeare, 19th-Century Novel, Modern Texts, Poetry.
Each topic has short multiple-choice quizzes with an explanation for every answer, revision cards and flash cards you can print. KODO tracks what you get wrong and brings it back with spaced repetition, so you revise the gaps rather than what you already know.
