Reviews / Votes
Reviews of previous edition:"All books available in this series are excellent, including this one. They're the essential companions for a successful A level candidate. With the aid of this book and past paper questions, I scored a hefty 99% in my exam!"
"This book is the ultimate study companion for this module and contains all the information needed to pass A level Biology with flying colours. It includes full colour and simple to use diagrams and is easy to understand. A must for A level Biology students looking to do well."
"I am using this book to help me revise for my exams. It is concise, accurate, and as it's small not threatening to learn from. I recommend that every student out there uses this as it could be the difference between a C and a A grade."
"I am amazed that a book of this quality exists. It exactly covers the work need to meet the specification for the AQA AS syllabus. This book is an actual godsend. I really do believe this book is vital for everyone following the AQA board in AS Biology, and another great thing about this series is it has books for both module 1 & 2, with Mock/Sample examination questions and answers to enhance your revision right up until the exams."
