GCSE English AQA A Anthology: Study Guide - Poems From Different Cultures: Study Guide - Higher Level - Richard Parsons

this book is just useful to the complete max. i don;t think there is a guide book for the anthology which is just as great. for my gcses i decided to get cgp revision guides for absolutely every subject i took but i did think that the company was a bit overrated in many ways. the reason being is that many of their guides seem to miss out vital info but this is definitely an exception. there isn't anything they've missed out here apart from your own ...
...out on a different page with tha detailed analysis on a page beside it which is great whilst revising. the poem on the left hand side is anaysed in every word and so you begin to fully comprehend the poem and learn for yourself what the poems mean to you which is vital during the exams. even if you was to take the foundation level i would go get the higher level revision guide because extra information never harmed anyone and it may just boost you ...

Review of GCSE English AQA A Anthology: Study Guide - Poems From Different Cultures: Study Guide - Higher Level - Richard Parsons

Review of GCSE English AQA A Anthology: Study Guide - Poems From Different Cultures: Study Guide - Higher Level - Richard Parsons

Although the context of each poem is useful, I do not feel the language points made for each poem are enough to obtain a top-end grade. I would recommend York Notes instead. However, it is a good starting ...

This book is particularly useful in providing model essays at the end, which are good for learning how to structure the essay, as well as help in choosing the best poems for the question. I do not feel that this book is detailed enough to be the sole point of revision, however if the student is willing to add their own language notes in particular, this is a good starting point. ...
