Reviews / Votes
I have yet to meet the pupil who has no need to revise! This book presents material clearly and systematically and the sharply defined topics encourage students to revise in manageable and productive time periods and then test their progress with the short knowledge-based questions. I wholeheartedly commend this guide. Dr David Penter, formerly Chairman ISEB 13+ CE Science panel and Head of Science, Malvern College The book is a comprehensive revision guide that enables students to review, practise and improve at Common Entrance Science - an invaluable aid for those aiming high in the exams.
