Gavin Hannah, Summer Fields School 'Ed Adams has come up trumps with a fantastic Revision Guide for the first two Common Entrance Papers: Medieval Realms and The Making of the United Kingdom. The Revision Guide starts with top tips for pupils' revision and exam technique, and all the way through there are practice essay titles, evidence question reminders and 'test yourself' factual exercises. There are 'bitesize' sections of text and easy-to-use bullet points throughout - it should make revising Common Entrance History both fun and accessible. Exam revision is hard enough as it is, but this book should definitely help pupils of all abilities as they tackle Common Entrance.' Niall Murphy, Radley College
