Customer Reviews

This book is perfectly geared to help you pass the exam!!
This book is written by the chief examiner and is absolutley brilliant for getting that exam techniquie just right. The book goes through sample answers and explains what is needed to improve the answers so that they can upgraded. The book goes through the terms that the examiner will use in the question and how words like "explain" "describe" and "evaluate" should affect the answer that you give. There are also practice questions that you can do and they are laid out exactly how they will be in the exam. Of course this book is only part of what you need but it is a great little book for sharpening up exam technique and as it is written by the chief examiner it really is handing the exam to you on a plate. Also it is possible to get full marks on the exam (Beacuse I did) so I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that their technique in exams could do with a little improving and also to anyone who has difficulty with the words that tell you what to do in the exam such as "describe" etc.
