Review of Interactive PastPapers from the Electronic Telegraph

What it says is what you get. This program offers A-level and Scottish Higher students exam questions covering many topics, from analytic geometry to vectors. There's no fancy multimedia, and the program wastes no time in taking you to the start-up menu.
There are many teacher and student options. For customising the program, for example, you can have the computer pick questions randomly from the syllabus or from specific topics. Questions are answered on the computer by typing the answer in a small box. Users are given lots of feedback, including advice on badly answered questions. We liked this program: its concept is simple and its delivery effective.
What's good: Simple concept, lots of practice, can be customised and gives plenty of feedback.
What's bad: Some students may find it hard going.
