One of the latest GCSE additions to the Macmillan Work Out series, recently placed first in a Daily Mail Study Guides comparison - 'written in a direct and chatty style by obvious enthusiasts' - said one examiner. Completely in line with the 1995 Subject Order, Science GCSE offers in its feature prelims advice on approaching and completing coursework, and tips for successful revision and exam techniques. The fully-comprehensive coverage of the main text includes: * syllabus coverage broken down into easy-to-grasp topic sections, including foundational ideas and explanation of areas students are known to find difficult * lots of clear diagrams to reinforce the textual points * questions for the student to try on each topic, and questions testing knowledge of linked topics, just as they appear in the exam Throughout there are question banks of real material, quick progress tests and student answers to enable the student to work their way to exam success.
