Reviews / Votes
Reviews of previous edition:"The book is ever so helpful as a back up if you don't understand parts of the syllabus in class. It also is an excellent aid when revising for the subject when you actually have the module exam."
"This book is amazing. I did the AQA syllabus for my Biology A Level, and I used this book and this book alone to revise for my exam (no notes, no big textbook, nothing else) and I got 94% for the module. The only trick to this book is that every sentence is something you need to know and memorise. I found this particularly useful - you don't waste time revising things that you're not sure you need to know or not. This doesn't mean that the revision book is hard to understand, either; everything is explained very clearly. If you memorise all the material in this book you are guaranteed a (very high) A grade - it misses nothing out."
