Are the Development: Cognitive Development (Piaget) questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Psychology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Psychology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Edexcel.
How is Development: Cognitive Development (Piaget) typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers?
