You wont 'just pass' with this one!, 9 Feb 2003
This review is from: AS And A Level ICT Through Diagrams (Oxford Revision Guides) (Paperback)
If you intend to use this book to revise for AS / A2 Level computing on the OCR Syllabus... Go for it!
I have been through several other books of this nature, including the 'In a Week' and 'Revise' books, and they simply do NOT compare.
This book manages to cover all the areas the other ones miss, and the unique diagramatically aided approach assists the understanding of otherwise complex topics.
This book is also targeted directly at answering the types of questions you will typically get in an exam. Where other revision books, for example tell you what an Inkjet Printer is... this book goes one step further by giving you a clear table of advantages and disadvantages in comparison to the other types as well as highlighting key features.
Yes! I know this book lacks colour (actually, it has no colour in it, at all), and that the layout is very simple, and that this can be off putting in the beginning, but, after you get into it you will see why this style is perfect for a book of this kind.
This book also covers, to the best of my knowledge, ALL the material for ALL the AS and A2 unit examinations.
Basically, if you want a book which is easy to read, follow, understand properly and which maximises your potential, enabling you not only 'just to pass' but actually achieve the grade you are capable of; Buy This Book!

none but the best, 30 July 2003
This review is from: AS And A Level ICT Through Diagrams (Oxford Revision Guides) (Paperback)
This is really a great and comprehensive book dealing with almost everything in ICT. I highly recommend it.
One word of caution. This book may be much longer than you would expect in a so-called 'revision guide' If you want to go through it just for the purpose of revision, be sure to allocate enough time. For me personnaly, a week or a few days has not been enough.

Good foundation, 14 Dec 2010
This review is from: AS And A Level ICT Through Diagrams (Oxford Revision Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book as I was doing a module for university which just required some basic level information. It's informative and easy to read - I enjoyed these books when I was at school and I found them useful.
