Format:Paperback
This book is brilliant. Easy to use, mirrors the AQA spec, and has fun and interesting activities for students to complete as they work their way through the book. It is up to date and has a brilliant teacher resource pack to compliment it. The layout is really good and includes key terms, exam questions and a breakdown of the specification at the start of each chapter. I am a Psychology teacher, and have been teaching GCSE for over 15 years now and have never taken to a book like I have to this one. Definitely recommend it. All of my students have purchased a copy, and they find it easy to use.

This book is great. It follows the AQA specification really clearly and is pitched at the right level. It is really colourful with a thoughtful layout and includes loads of useful activities. It has been written by experienced authors so i will definately continue using this book and highly recommend it!

Format:Paperback
I purchased this book as a guide for my AQA GCSE psychology. I also own to other psychology books (Psychology, A Complete GCSE Course and Psychology for GCSE level), however this book was not as descriptive as the Psychology: A Complete GCSE Course and was not as colourful as the Psychology for GCSE Level. Therefore I returned the product back to amazon for a refund.

Overall I prefer using the two books which I own for revision instead of this one, although the materials covered in this book do actually cover the AQA syllabus for Psychology, it was not just my preferred type of the way how the topics are illustrated and presented in this book.
I highly recommend the combination of the two books, Psychology: A complete Course and Psychology for GCSE Level for use as a revision guide for the AQA Syllabus exams.
