Media Reviews
This is a brilliant study guide, with just the right amount of detail to answer WJEC AS exam questions. I would certainly recommend it as a supplement to studies and I will be buying the A2 study guide next September. The AS guide also contains margin features which are very useful to check my progress as I go through the guide. I also found that the examiner's comments on the sample answers were extremely informative and provided an insight into the way in which an examiner marks a student's responses.
