Reviews
Highly recommended study guide - School Reading List: 'A detailed, structured, and very practical method for tackling GCSE revision - both in the long term from the start of year 9 or 10, and once the final summer term begins in year 11. It doesn't just tackle the curriculum content - there are sections on study skills organisation, how to memorise quotes, and how to cope with stress. The clear and varied layout, featuring easy to read text, tables, diagrams, bullet points, and endless exam-based examples makes this book a winner. Ideal for pupils who find it difficult to motivate themselves for revision .
