3.0 out of 5 stars A lot of mistakes! 27 Feb 2011
By Jacqueline Edge
Format:Paperback
I'm an A-level tutor in this subject and I'm not as impressed with this book, compared with the A2 book. It seems it was rushed through, because there are a lot of elementary mistakes which a simple read-through would have detected. I think it is inexcusable to have so many mistakes in a school text: students are having a hard enough time understanding this complex material as it is!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential 2 Aug 2011
By PRandom
Format:Paperback
This book has some flaws, however, in my opinion is it essential for the A2 biology course. The book covers the specification well and provides in-depth double page spreads on many parts of the specification. There is usually enough information and sometimes there is too much! This is, of course, not an issue.

Further the book has past exam questions on each module and also end of module summary questions to test your knowledge. A key feature that is also very useful are the stretch and challenge questions which are placed on some of the spreads. This is helpful for students looking for A and A* grades.

There are some criticisms though. As other reviews suggest, there are mistakes; quite a few. However, these generally can be noticed and do not impact on understanding (although sometimes it can make concepts confusing). Furthermore, the language used could be simpler to make the topics more accessible.

Overall, it is a great book with a few flaws. However, it has many positives and I would be more than happy to use this book and this book only for my A2 biology exam. In my other subjects I would need more than one textbook.
