Product Description

"The O Level Book" settles that age-old argument between the generations: were the exams of yesteryear really harder than anything children have to face today in the age of calculators and spell checkers? Are contemporary kids less intelligent than previous generations? Here is the chance to find out as the whole family pit their wits against each other in the ultimate generation game, contrasting the schooling of old with modern educational practices.It tests you on these old-school topics: English Language; General Science; Geography; History; Household Cookery; Mathematics; and Music.A wonderfully nostalgic yet testing anthology, "The O Level Book" encourages you to dust off your slide rules and get your thinking caps on to see who will come out top in your family!

4.0 out of 5 stars Smarter than you remember?, 31 Dec 2009

Alison "literate cat" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The O Level Book: Genuine Exam Questions from Yesteryear (Gift) (Hardcover)

The book contains past questions from (amongst others) English, Geography, Home Economics (cookery!). I was impressed by how much I remember. It is interesting to contrast the language of the questions and the way that current GCSE questions are posed. Definitely a fun book to leave around, particularly when Grandad is visiting.

5.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane, 1 Feb 2009

Laura K. Hawes (Crowborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The O Level Book: Genuine Exam Questions from Yesteryear (Gift) (Hardcover)

This book is fantastic - a real reminder of my school days, although I seem to be able to answer the 'o' level questions far more easily these days!!! I would definitely recommend this book for a trip down memory lane!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The O Level Book, 19 Aug 2011

sha - See all my reviews

This review is from: The O Level Book: Genuine Exam Questions from Yesteryear (Gift) (Hardcover)

Excellent reading, could do with questions for specific subjects, not just a little of everything. Try the questions on your kids, interesting to see how standards have fallen, compared with the Maths they are doing for GCSE currently!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book but some of the answers are wrong!
I am a college lecturer so I got this to test my current HND class with some old-school maths questions. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good in places, quite dull after a bit
Some of the questions here really are howlers, but a lot of this is just much of a muchness and stops being entertaining. I wouldn't recommend it.
