As a teacher, this has helped give me lots of ideas for routine tasks to set. I do hope these authors will produce a similar book to accompany the Year 2 textbook." ―5-star Amazon review"I really like the variety of revision activities presented within each chapter... I will recommend this textbook to my students. It can help students of all levels of ability; providing extra activities for the keen students who want something in addition to their own methods of revision and for those students who are struggling to structure their revision." ―Karen Brown, Holy Cross Sixth Form College, writing in ATP Today"The Revision and Exam Companion is an excellent way to encourage active revision and improve skills at the same time.
