works perfectly as a revision tool, however do not rely on this to learn the course! The negative review is due to the customer thinking it is a text book. Easy to read, very useful information in a user-friendly layout. I definetly recommend.

This guide is vague and in my eyes quite useless. Although the information is presented in a nice pretty colour scheme and has questions which you could do in your sleep... the guide is pretty bad at explaning the need to know. Reasons for my dislike for this guide:
-The book has little boxes that say "Bump Up your Grade" and I quote... 'To bump up your grade from a C/D to an A you need to know why Semmelweiss's ideas took so long to be acknowledged'... and guess what? the guide doesn't explain why his ideas took so long to be acknoledged.
-The guide's contents page are in absolute shambles. It is insanely difficult to look up a certain topic in the book unless you have already seen it before and know where it is. The topics are aplit into numbers... 1.2,1.3 etc but do not give an exact page number and so you need to flick through until you find it, although normally you can have a vagueguess as where abouts in the guide it may be. (fortunately there are not alot of pages)
-However, the book is specific for AQA and has some useful information that will not go amiss which reddemed a single star.
If you are doing AQA GCSE then I would recommend a CGP guide or some other guide and only use this as a last resort as frankly, this guide is useless (although pleasing to look at with lots ofnnice pictures :D).
