Excellent - By: Caroline Gray, 12 Nov 2003 
I use this book for my AS Level chemistry. It is not suitable for use on it's own but is an excellent supplement to a textbook. It has all the information you need, but notin as much detail as a main textbook.
Easy to understand - By: , 01 Sep 2002 This is the best AQA revision book available. The rest of the booksin the series are also worth buying. They contain a large amount of content but are small enough to read through for last minute revision. They helped me to get a grade Ain my chemistry AS. I would definitely recommend these books to anyone studying the AQA syllabus.
An excellent guide-book for this module - By: , 16 Mar 2002 The book covers the bare essentials for this chemistry module. Although it does not go into substantial detail, it is excellent as a quick reference & is also very useful for "last-minute" cramming
Small, concise and friendly looking but with plenty detail. - By: , 07 Mar 2002 The book is perfect for revision. I found it really great that it was specific only to my sylabus because it meant there were no extra pages to wade through. Although i am aware some books tell you which parts you need to look at for each specification i prefered a book catering for only one examining board because it kept content down to a minimum making it look less threatening & much more approachable! The modular format also really helped with this, i'd suggest you get the whole set! The content is easy to understand &in easily enough detail. The books do contain colour & highlighted text but not many different colours (generally just black, one bright colour & shades of gray) which i liked beaucse i find some revision books overwhelming & confusing due to them overdoing it on the colour! Allin all, a very helpful revision aid.
Want to pass this exam? Buy this book! - By: , 25 Feb 2002 It's official - whoever had the idea for this series of Collins revision guides is a genius. Why? Well, read on......
These guides are written specifically for the AQA Chemistry syllabus. Many revision guides are written for the general subject of Chemistry - however, there are differences between the different exam boards, & so using a syllabus specific revision guide ensures you are learning all of the material you need to know - & are not wasting time learning things not on your syllabus.
Plus, these provide clearly worked examples of the sorts of questions you get asked not onlyin exams, but also for your homework - which comesin useful! There is also a mock paper - taken form the AQA resource pack - & a detailed answer scheme, so you can really test your knowledge.
If that isn't enough to convince you that you should buy this immediately, this guide is also written really clearly, using bullet points, tables & margin notes to ensure you understand every topic fully, & each section is clearly referenced to the syllabus, so you can make revision notes really easily & quickly.
Still not convinced? Well - my chemistry teacher was so impressed with it, he's planning to buy a complete set for his class next year!
If you really want to do wellin Chemistry......my advice? Buy this now!
