Product Description

Student Unit Guides are perfect for revision. Each guide is written by an examiner and explains the unit requirements, summarises the relevant unit content and includes a series of specimen questions and answers.

There are three sections to each guide:

Introduction – includes advice on how to use the guide, an explanation of the skills being tested by the assessment objectives, an outline of the unit or module and, depending on the unit, suggestions for how to revise effectively and prepare for the examination questions.

Content Guidance – provides an examiner’s overview of the module’s key terms and concepts and identifies opportunities to exhibit the skills required by the unit. It is designed to help students to structure their revision and make them aware of the concepts they need to understand the exam and how they might analyse and evaluate topics.

Question and Answers – sample questions and with graded answers which have been carefully written to reflect the style of the unit. All responses are accompanied by commentaries which highlight their respective strengths and weaknesses, giving students an insight into the mind of the examiner.

Customer Reviews

Excellent
This is the book you need if you're doing AQA Biology (B) at AS-level. The information is all there, written in an excellent direct way. Sometimes it does tell you more than you need to know, but that's not a bad thing. It explains all the topics in a simple way, so that you understand straight away but it's not patronising. As a student I find it much easier to use and understand than the AQA approved textbook: AQA Biology AS Level: Student's Book, which is terrible. And there are lots of practise questions at the end of every section to make sure you know everything.
