Advantages: Nice layout Disadvantages: Sometimes waffles on a bit
Being a student I probably use this book more frequently than teachers do and so I believe I am more able to write a 'real' review.
This 370-page book aims to cover all aspects of the A-level IT course. The book is presented well with short paragraphs and bullet point used to outline key points.
The book consists of five sections, in total 71 chapters. The aim of using so many chapters is to allow each chapter to be covered in one or two lessons, but unfortunately the book comes across as being 'bitty'. Also some major topics have been split over two or three chapters where it might have been better to keep them as one larger chapter.

At the end of each chapter there are ...

I'm sure there are many other useful features for the more hardcore mathematician, but I have and will continue to recommend this to my friends and students alike; If you want an effective, clear and useful calculator which do surds, trig ratios and logs for you, pick this calculator ...

Advantages: Necessary to make correct choices and should achieve the best results Disadvantages: Incorrect choices could be disastrous
~Introduction~
I am now in the second year (Year 13) of studying my A-levels and only have a few months study remaining. The four subjects that I chose to study were: Business Studies, Physical Education, Geography and General Studies. They have so far proved to be pretty justified choices, but making those initial decisions takes careful thought and a lot of consideration.
~Making the Choice~
There are a number of things that you should take into account when you are picking which A-level courses to take on. The order of importance of some of the points I am going to raise may differ from person to person, but they are all vital factors that you must consider.
~Enjoyment~
The most important thing, in my opinion, is that the majority of subjects that you choose are those that you enjoy and are good at. There is no ...
