Advantages: Makes Revising Fun! Disadvantages: None!
' and answer questions etc. using the other book to help you with your answers. This was the book that my teacher chose for us , and being a business studies teacher , she certainly knew her stuff , and so this must have been , in her opinion the best book out there.
Looking at the cover , the book does look quite 'serious' compared to the 'fun looking letts' ones which I bought to help me with my other subjects. The cover consists of a black background with the CPG logo of a 'cool guy' sitting , wearing a hat and shades whilst reading a CPG revisionguide.
