If a book has entered an AQA approval process though, reference to the book having ‘entered an AQA approval process’ must be used on marketing material at pre-approval stage  \n• references to the book providing ‘complete coverage of the specification’/‘all you need’(or similar)  \n• reference to the resource being needed to successfully complete an assessment or qualification  \n• over-emphasis on examination preparation atthe expense of the course content. The main focus of the book must be on good teaching and students gaining knowledge and skills. Examination preparation must build on this approach – preferably at the end of the book. Any book which does not adopt this approach  \nand is too heavily exam-focused will not be able to successfully complete the approval process  \n• references to the books being ‘written by senior examiners’ or ‘by the people who will be marking your exam’(or similar) . The phrase ‘with examining experience’ is acceptable though  \n• references to ‘the examiner is looking for’,‘examiner insights’,‘examiner commentary’,‘examiner tips’ or similar inferences. The inclusion of examiner reports is also not permissible  \n• references to ‘AQA tips’, advice from AQA, AQA comments or what AQA is looking for  \n• icons and devices such as ‘on your marks’,‘grade-boosting tips’,‘bump up your grade’boxes or ‘moving up the grades’ icons.  \nNB reference to these must also be kept toa minimum on external resources that are not part of the AQA approval process (eg on marketing material)  \n• references to tips or ‘top tips’ on how to achieve a particular level or grade; how to get ‘a high/ good grade’ or how to ‘gain all the marks/full marks’ etc  \n• revision tips for a particular specification, though general revision tips are acceptable. Revision topics can be suggested, but these must be flagged as a sample and students must be encouraged to devise their own revision lists/tables  \n• references to content in the book being appropriate for a particular level or grade  \n• references as to what students should/ should not study and what may come up in any examination  \n• references to authors’ own material in the textbooks (ie for promotional purposes) . Only comprehensive, balanced reading lists should be included  \n• underlying theme or narrative characters which run throughout the book.  \nQuestions can be used if they are previous AQA exam questions or if they are exam-style questions – though the latter must be headed‘Practice questions’. They must not be used if any of the authors is a senior examiner for the specification in question at point of writing. See also our separate Senior examiners as authors restrictions.  \nAll AQA publications are subject to copyright and may not be reproduced without prior written consent.
