Not so great if you're an A grade student
I rushed to the click button when this was first available. A book specially for my students' A level syllabus!

Well, it has some useful advice, particularly for weaker students, but I found it all rather tedious. I'd have preferred a more radical or imaginative approach. Like too many recent textbooks, it's all about passing an exam (obviously a good thing) but passing an exam by ticking all the right boxes - not having really learnt anything of substance. The War Writing chapter epitomises the book: sound advice, boring tasks.

All round - useful reference but it will quickly date when the syllabus changes as it is very focussed on current syllabus texts.
