This process confirms that this resource fully covers the teaching and learning content af the specification part of a specification at which itis aimed, tt also. ccontirms that it demonstrates an appropriate balance between the development of subject skis, knowledge and understanding, in addition to preparation for assessment. Endorsement does not cover any guidance on assessment activities oF processes (29, practice ‘questions or advice on how to answer assessment questions} included in the rescurce nor dees it prescribe any particular approach to the teaching or delivery of a related course. While the publishers have made every attempt to ensure: that advice on the qualification and its assesoment www.pearsonschools.co.uWrevise ONSET ip accurate, the official specification and associated assessment guidance materials are the only authoritative Source of information and should always be referred to for definitive guidance. Pearson examiners have not contributed to any sections| in this resource relevant to examination papers for which they have responsiblity Examiners wil not use endorsed resources as a source of material for any assessment set by Pearson. Endorsement of a resource does not mean that the rescurce io required to achieve this Pearson qualification, nor does it mean that itis the only suitable material available to support the qualification, and any resource lists produced by the awarding body shall include this land ather appropriate resources.
