Synopsis

Longman Revise Guides have been written and copiled by the people who set A-Level papers and mark them - the examiners. They cover exactly what students need to know, understand and revise in each subject for maximum success, so that students can approach their exams with confidence. Each book gives expert advice in planing a revision programme effectively: how students should pace themselves, and how to make the most of their time and energy. A-level General Studies is one of the most Popular A-level subject , with over 50,000 candidates per year. Schools and colleges are given freedom to construct their own General Studies courses according to the needs of their Pupils, resources, etc. Questions are usually set in the following fields: social sciences, the arts the natural sciences, mathematics, a foreign language, spatial or mechanical relations, religion, ethics and philosophy. Humanities students must answer maths/science questions and vice versa. This A-Level Revise Guide is based on the principles required to cope with unfamiliar questions. For each "field area" there is an explanation of the "building Blocks" vital to the successful answering of questions in that field. Key features include: syllabus breakdown and analysis; essential principles and applications; examiner commentary throughout; exam questions and specimen answers; typical student's answers with the examiner's opinion and comments; pull-out review sheets at the end of most topic-based chapters.

About this title

Review

The text is accessible and supported by clear illustrations, some of which are used as stimulus material for the activities. The two appendices are very useful. The first offers some suggestions for addressing the issue of the three main key skills; the second provides exam guidance across the specifications. (S Walker, TES 2001-05-01)
