Retrieval (Q1, Q2)

From the specialist's desk

We map Retrieval (Q1, Q2) against the specification itself before a word is written, so the scheme, organiser, retrieval grids and assessment arrive already aligned to the assessment objectives, not adapted to them afterwards.

We have not published a preview for this option yet. Packages are still built to order for it, mapped to this section and its assessment objectives.
