We offer free help to school pupils with revision help. Our revision materials range from Standard Grade Economics to Int 2 Physics. It is currently a work in progress with additional content being added. Users also have the offer to E-mail us and ask questions for help about how to revise, relax etc. Users who visit the site have the choice to Subscribe, Join the site and lots more.
We enjoy receiving feedback so users can leave comments on blogs or simply drop us a line. This blog is run by Duncan, who recently sat his own SQA exams. He noticed that there was not a lot of revision resources out there especially for Economics so he decided to create his own revision blog to help pupils with exams whilst at the same time teaching himself new things and increasing his knowledge. He is fascinated by the ways of the Internet and decided to give blogging a go.
'The Challenge' is really only an additional thing on the side to attract new members to the site. However users can compete in it if they wish to. We hope that users will spread the word of the site to their friends, teachers and we can hopefully get the full potential out of this blog.
We heavily rely on support from users to keep the website running, therefore we have had to resort to getting sponsorship from some big sites. The sponsors can be viewed on the 'Home Page' and feel free to check them out.
We hope that users can gain from this blog and really improve their knowledge of the subjects which they are studying. Hopefully they will pass their exams with flying colours. All we want to do is help. Clearly the most important thing with the blog is to get high traffic levels. This should hopefully lead to improvements in articles and content due to a varied combined expertise that could be generated. We ask that everyone shares this blog and helps new users to get their full potential from the site and ask you to begin commenting straightaway. Also try and win the free prizes if you want to. The prizes are actually free and the rules are simple - get friends to join the site. That's it!
We hope to see you joining the site soon, we look forward to it!
