Horrible2
My biology teacher recommended we get this book as a suppliment to the Edexcel-specific NAS textbooks. I regret listening to him.

I couldn't help but feel that the book is basically copying the syllabus (only the titles of the topics!) and presenting them in the form of checklists. The only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of 1 is because it has a few, and I mean a FEW, questions with solutions which was somewhat helpful.

helpful to pinpoint exactly what you need to know3
this book is very helpful in helping you pinpoint the things you need to know from your syllabus.you can tick off the boxes as u go along when uve learnt that point.it covers unit 1-3 and includes lots of practise questions to help you to see if you have really learnt all the points

Make the grade, but a low one...1
Presumably this publisher also publishes guides on how to be a millionaire with helpful advice like, "make sure you have a bank balance with at least 7 figures in it". This book, in contrast to the excellent, "Chemistry - Make the Grade" by George Facer, is an utter waste of money. How the authors: John Adds, Erica Larkcom, Ruth Miller, Alan Clamp and Martin Furness-Smith, could take any pride from being associated with this book is a mystery. It simply lists the syllabus and tells you what you should know, but gives virtually no factual knowledge except as answers to some of the practice questions. For this book and the Chemistry book by George Facer to be in the same series is simply confusing, as their respective offerings are vastly different, the Biology book providing nothing of use more than a syllabus, and exam questions of a sort that are available from at least one (if not all) exam boards free of charge online anyway.
