This tremendously successful title for General Studies has thorough coverage of all the key subjects required by the main A-level syllabuses AQA (NEAB, AEB) and OCR(UCLES). The clear structure of each subject helps students to develop the key skill required by the exam: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
Twenty-two subject units are interspersed with items which teach and test students’ grasp of mathematics, French, the English language and general knowledge. An innovative guide to essay and project preparation is included, and answers are provided for all the ‘closed’ questions throughout the book.
“Coherent and readable, accessible and clearly authoritative. It offers a wealth of interesting resource information."
Paula Miller, 'Principal Moderator for NEAB General Studies'
Dr Colin Swatridge is former Head of General Studies at Reigate College and Chief Examiner for General Studies for one of the main awarding bodies.
