Description
Written by two examiners and teachers, this book has been devised to provide detailed guidance for candidates approaching A level, Scottish Higher, BTEC and a variety of examinations in physics at 18+. It should be used throughout the year and presents the student with a structured approach to examination preparation and practice. The text highlights the basic principles and core concepts and explains how these may be used in answering typical questions. The self-contained sections can be read selectively in any order appropriate to individual needs or course structure, and examination questions are provided along with suggested answers for comparison purposes.
