Pearson Edexcel A-Level Music Technology

Components 3 and 4, covered properly.

The two written papers: Listening and Analysing, and Producing and Analysing. All 23 topics are open. Every one has a page to read. 13 of them open a bench where you can hear the thing you've just read about and change it yourself; 4 more open flashcards or a quiz. Then it comes back round a few days later, before you've forgotten it. The Section B essay questions have their own marking desk.

LearnRead the topic in the words the examiner actually uses.
ExploreOn most topics, hear it on the bench and change it yourself.
ReviseIt comes back a few days later, so it sticks.
