Reviews / Votes
Reviews of previous edition:"This book provides a brilliant summary of just the stuff you need to know for this really hard module! It's a bargain too! It goes through everything in exactly the same terms and order as it does in the syllabus - all definitions are highlighted and makes revision reasonably enjoyable and easy."
"Thanks to this book I went up probably 3 grades! I revised solely from this book for about 3 hours a day over a 2 or 3 week period. I got 85/90 in the exam so thanks very much to the author. Recommended!"
"Any A level Biology student who is without these books is sorely missing out! Ensure you have learnt exactly what information you need and make sure you know it - buy these books!"
