Product Description

Revision Express A-level Study Guides - covering AS and A2 material in one book. A new approach to exam success, making your revision fast and effective.

What A-level Examiners say about Revision Express Study Guides.

'The Style is succinct and the focus is on exam success'.

'...the material does provide what it promises - a revision guide, a quick whiz through the material needed for the exam.'

'It's amazing what you can get into two pages!'

·         Unique cover flap system to help the reader navigate through AS/A2 material

·         Each double-page spread will be a self-contained unit following a standard sequence. This reinforces the concept that it is more beneficial to study little and often with each session containing a clear focus

·         Self-assessment features on every page – including ‘Check point’ which asks questions on material just covered, and a system whereby the reader marks up each section according to their level of understanding so difficult topics can be easily revisited

·         Additional features are contained in a narrow column on each page: Examiner’s Secrets, The Jargon, Check the Net, and Study Skills hints including memorisation techniques all integrated into the body of the text rather than confined to a separate chapter

·         Answers will be provided for all questions, for essay style questions these will normally be outline answers indicating structure and coverage

·         On-line references: to author websites, companion websites and other authoritative sites, further questions and answers

·         The books highlight the aspects of the subject that are most vital for exam success therefore focusing on the areas that are always examined or areas that pose a particular problem in an exam context

Superb
Brought this book after having a particularly bad experience in a mock exam. So glad I did, condenses everything down into manageable chunks and cuts the rubbish out which some guides have. The result in getting this was two As on the exam modules at AS and improved grades in the following year. Hopefully this will help me to success later on in the year!

Brilliant for the basics
This book would be a great help to any student studying A/S or A-Level English Language as it covers all the topics that may arise in the exam. Although it may not be detailed enough to cover the wide variety of theories that you may want to write about, this is a very good foundation for building your knowledge. If used with extra research or detailed class notes this contains everything you need to pass your exam.

Easy to read and layed out very well it is an excellent aid to your revision. It has a very useful section which lets you know which parts you need to study depending on your exam board and gives you a chrcklist to fill in to help you revise thoroughly.

I found this was one of the best books on the market so if you're struggling this is a must read and if not then it's well worth it anyway.

Lifesaver, for sure.
It's a difficult course to take, considering the jump from GCSE to A-level, but this book makes life so much easier. If you misunderstand things in class, this book will most definately have it in an easier to understand form. It has different content for each exam board, so its universal for just about every iteration of the course.
Lets just hope i don't fail the exam next week. [:
