Doing the Delta and need help?

If you're doing any of the Cambridge Delta Modules and are looking for some no-cost or low-cost help, see our companion blog The Delta Course to see what we can offer : https://thedeltacourse.blogspot.com/ And if you're doing DELTA Module One, notice that we run some weekly preparation questions in each of the ten weeks before the exam. See the page "Doing the DELTA?" (top menu) for the links to the questions currently available.
