Assessor's comments

An excellent resource providing a wealth of practical information, together with meaningful calculations. It contains built-in tools such as calculator, percentage finder and jargon-buster, and allows students to have the ability to solve their own problems as they go along. This resource truly puts the average to upper ability student in charge of their own learning as regards personal finance.


Whilst focused on personal finance this resource provides excellent underpinning knowledge necessary for a young person to be financially confident and well informed about the personal choices they can make. It would make a good induction activity before an enterprise activity.
