Customer Reviews

Very helpful
I decided to purchase a revision guide becuase i found it difficult learning directly from all the notes i had made in lessons. I had also had success using revision guides for other subjects like physics and chemistry.

The book contains plenty of examples and practice questions and also pointers on how to get the best marks possible. I only gave it four stars because it tends to focus more on examples and questions rather than the theory for each topic. I would recommend it for anyone who is finding AS maths difficult as it certainly improved my understanding.

Good for exam practice...
This has good coverage of the Pure, Mechanics, and Stats modules, but nothing for Decision (Discrete) Maths. It won't explain new concepts, but it's good for giving you an idea of what to expect in the exam.

Practice makes perfect in theory
This is a very good book and extremely good in explaining how to complete questions correctly.
