Customer Reviews

Great little book
Extremely useful, due to small size can be read anywhere-on a bus,whilst waiting-the main point being it's v.handy; diagrams are great, the layout couldnt be better, very concise, no waffle, no daunting revision tips and it is all written in an accessible way without patronizing you. And it has questions and ANSWERS; which mind you, doesn't happen that often. It's a common thing for an author to drag on about how there are questions in his/hers book and not include the answers.

Brilliant
This book has the course condensed on the pages, but not too crowded so that it's hard to learn. It is very easy to just go through the book and highlight important parts you don't already know. It is indeed the ideal solution to LAST MINUTE revision. It even has all the really important diagrams. My only complaint is that sometimes the diagrams are a bit small (but not so small that you don't know what's going on). It has a good layout.

I got this book last week and now I'm buying the A2 version since I have found this one so helpful. This really is perfect if you have left the majority of the learning til a week or two before your exams, and you don't have time to make notes from a long-winded textbook. The questions at the end of each chapter are great also.

As biology revision book
I was shown this book by my biology tutor, he said it was the best book on the market, and he was right. This book has most specifications for most exam boards. It breaks down the information to precise and understandable points, And is great for reading when you have a spare minutue or two. i found this book a great help. I highly recommend it to anyone doing As biology.
