Format:Paperback
Everyone studying this course will have been issued with/recommended the Nelson Thornes A2 AQA physics textbook. However, the course is designed so you study 3 modules: (1) Nuclear Physics, (2) Thermal & Gas Physics, (3) an option from Medical, Astronomy, Applied and Turning points Physics.

The Nelson Thornes book has modules (1) and (2) in it, but none of the option modules, which knowledge of one is required for the final exam. We were taught turning points as our option module. The only other textbooks I could find with this module in were the CGP revision guide (which I have found to be over simplified, and missing essential parts) and the Letts revision guide. Revision guides are OKAY but they are what they say on the tin; merely revision guides.

This textbook is written similarly to the Nelson Thornes book. It contains decent explanations and more challenging equation deriving made easy. The best part is, it contains both mandatory modules (1) and (2) but also all of the option modules! The only downside would be the lack of questions and answers to try yourself, but you can't have it all.

A must-buy for the course, enabling you to potentially reach the A* grade, yes it is possible!

AQA Physics 22 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
Being the only text book to contain the optional units: Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Applied Physics and (the unit I covered) Turning Points in Physics. It is a must buy. I find notes taken from lessons good, but not good enough, and feel far more confident in knowing what the examiners want you to know. As well as having examples, practice exam questions and tips if you are having difficulty, make it a very good resource.

This textbook is a must-have for anyone sitting an exam for AQA A2 Level Physics! Good concise notes and it doesn't go into useless detail. Perfect!
