Advantages: Able to see your progress Disadvantages: not advanced
At the moment i am taking my GCSE exams, I am taking 9 exams and for my revision leave I felt I needed as much help as possible buying two sets of GCSE revision guides for each subject. One being 'LettsGCSE in a week' and the other being the CGP revision guides.

Having already done two GCSEmaths exams, I am currently in the process of revising for my last. The course I am doing is AQA Modular (3300). I have found this revision guide invaluable. It covers modules one, three and five, meaning you can look up anything that you are not sure about. Modules two and four are coursework, which varies from school to school, so they cannot include these. This book is aimed at those students taking the higher tier paper.
The Layout
CGP books are famous for their fun and colourful way of presenting information. This guide is no exception.
