The Letts range of GCSE titles are revision courses on CD-ROM covering every exam board. Each title is designed with the specific course in mind--you cannot revise the same way for each subject (as there are no set "right" or "wrong" answers in English, unlike Chemistry for example). Once the program has been installed (please note you will still need to put the CD in the drive due to the large amount of content) you will need to log in as a user. Multiple users can be entered and all individual scores and progress will be stored. You're now ready to revise. The main screen provides three main options-Revision, Progress and Mock Exam. "Revision" is broken into the main study sections and includes exam and revision hints and tips. "Progress" is where you'll find the records of results, how much content you've covered and which areas need more practice. The "Mock Exam" includes the answers, so you can test yourself first or run through the paper and view the answers at the same time. As well, the software comes with a manual that's also available online within the program, a timer which allows you to set limits for revision sessions and a pop-up notebook. Titles available in the Letts GCSE range are Maths, English, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, French, German and Spanish.

There must be a certain art to passing exams that is invariably picked up with experience over time. Time, however, is what most revision students don't have much of. To build that necessary confidence and knowledge without the advantage of time, Dorling Kindersley has devised a series of GCSE CD-ROMs, which it hopes will ensure a grade C or above in the relevant subject. Its revision programmes--covering the syllabuses of all examining boards--are designed to focus the student's existing classroom knowledge, which is reinforced by easily accessible definitions and key points within simple subject selections. It also creates real exam conditions and practice in the form of quick-fire test questions under time restrictions, with immediate feedback on the results. Past papers and model answers are also available online.The key points on each subject area in GCSE English CD-ROM appear in successive text boxes on the left and pictures on the right of the screen. Occasionally these visual images become inspirational aids that may help the recall of a student as they write. This is particularly true of the section summarising war poetry, which carries evocative black and white photographs of World War I soldiers. The helpful hints and advice, the clearly explained rules of spelling and grammar, and the revision tests and past papers should all help build the necessary skills of comment, analysis, and interpretation, together with a feeling for pace and accuracy under exam conditions. The great benefit of this CD is that it is useful and straightforward enough for any student needing to grow in confidence and knowledge in the build-up to those all-important summer exams.--Susannah Steel

Farmer Rumtum's Letter Fun is a very good CD-ROM for younger children and helps to develop early reading skills. It is fun and easy to use. Children can choose from seven different games and are rewarded with mega-hops at the end of each activity. They can keep track of their score and also print out a certificate.Children can listen to, read and fill in the missing words when playing the excellent games "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Little Miss Muffet". There are also games to develop letter and word recognition where children have to decide whether the letter or word matches the picture.
"It's a Goal" challenges children to spell three-letter words by identifying the missing vowel. "Kick Off" moves on from that, requiring children to identify long vowel sounds. (For example: to spell "train", is the missing sound a or ai?) A lot of young children would find this a very challenging activity.
"Animal Magic" doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the games but it is a fun activity that involves answering questions and sorting animals.
There is an outstanding guide for parents, that lists the skills children will develop in each game and shows how parents should approach the activity with their child. Ideas are given for follow-up activities and there are even materials that can be printed out and used with children to consolidate and extend the activities.
Farmer Rumtum's Letter Fun is a fun and very educational CD-ROM for younger children. It is excellent value for money and parents are given a wealth of information about how to get the best out of the activities. --Amanda York
