ok
this book is ok, i suppose it is the only choice if u r doing the aqa
syllabus, only a few bad points, first few chapters there are practically no worked examples, at the end of each chapter there are
some summary questions with the answers at the back of the book,
sometimes i dont know how on earth did they arrive at that answer because
they dont have worked examples to help u,i had to ask teacher to explain how they got the answers.

Its only the last few units, they have some worked examples.
Also they put examination style questions, but no answers for that too,
so u dont know if you are right or wrong unless u get the teacher
to explain to u

this book is a little thin, should have more worked examples and
calculations to practise on, then it would be perfect

a physic teacher's perspective
I have been teaching A level Physics AQA syllabus A for many years. This book is, as far as I know, the only one 'endorsed' by AQA for the revised course that started in 2007. I have bought a personal copy but we still issue our students with Advanced Physics for You by Keith Johnson et al. Why? Well, of course, education is big business and textbooks make money - especially if you have to buy 2 - one for AS one for A2. You are spending substantially more than on 1 copy of Johnson, the printface is less inviting to read and less colour is used. You may think this a minor point, but uninviting textbooks are read less often. Some of the theory content has been swapped between AS and A2 but it is all in Johnson, just not in the new sequence. As the previous reviewer stated, this has fewer past paper questions than Johnson. The main advantage of this book is the extensive treatment of the practical (Unit 3) which is the most substantial change from the old course.
