This book is designed for students sitting for EdExcel exam. One important feature about this book is that it contains plentiful of revision exercises which were taken out from past exam paper of the same board EdExcel. I think this is the selling point of this book. Unfortunately, it is also the weakest point about this book in that there are many typo errors in both the questions and the answers. This is very bad when the pupil check his result with the answer, he will be totally confused if he has done the exercise correctly. In some cases, I dare say it is better not to check the answers at the back.
Statistically, there is a one in eight chance that you see misprints in either the questions or the answers. To substantiate my findings, I put down a few question numbers where you find printing mistakes, just from Review exercise one of book one: 3,18,28,40... Question 40 is really an embarrassing one: Both question and answer are wrongly printed. I guess the publishers did not do much proof reading before printing.
My conclusion is: Use it with care. Trust yourself if you think you got the right answer.

Admittedly I left my A-level revision to the last minute, about a month before the exams I ordered and brought as many revision guides as I could find. The Heinemann series was by far the most useful.
It was the only guide that went into the maths in enough depth and had enough examination style questions (note to all doing examination style questions is the best form of revision in maths, if you get stuck, then you work back)
The only one down fall of this book is the large amount of references to the Heinmann text book, although you may find the revision book useful without it, the books were based to supplament the text books.
Sorry bout the spelling and grammer, as you can tell I didnt take english, hope you found this useful.

This is a very well written guide through a potentially very confusing area of mathematics. It gives a good grounding in the basic rules of this unit and provides worked exam questions, exercises and key ideas in a clear and concise form. I used it in addition to the textbooks (also from this series) from school and found that it not only helps with the P1 unit but also gives understandings of ideas which are used in more depth and complexity later in the course.
Listmania!
