I did NOT find this useful whatsoever. Needed more questions, and the questions that were asked were pretty much useless. How was I supposed to know what year the Royal Society was founded. Once again, I can already tell that the creator is going to fail their history GCSEs, in fact all of her GCSEs because she is pretty much useless.
