CGP Revision Books
« on: November 10, 2009, 06:41:50 pm »
Hey guys,
Throughout the year I've been hearing that these CGP revision books are really useful, so i was planning on getting them for A2 next year for A -level Biology and Chemistry. Does anyone know where i can buy these books, would it be in outlets like Whitcoulls and Dymocks or do I have order it online? Also if anyone knows where i can get CGP notes from a website for A2 Biology and Chemistry i would really appreciate it if you could give me the link to the website.

Thanks a lot.
Good Luck with your exams ;D

Ok hopefully its up on the torrent site soon, or i would have to spend like $120 getting the book for both Biology and Chemistry... Do you know if they sell it in outlets like Whitcoulls or Dymocks, (general book stores)?
And i was also wondering is CGP revision books better than the letts revision guide for Biology and Chemistry? IF you can could you tell me why one is better than the other like does it have better notes and questions, easier to understand etc...thanks. By the way i've checked amazon couldn't find anything i'll try after my exams they might put more books up later.

Dude, the Letts' books are a waste of time. Just good for reference. That's my experience with them.

Go for CGP. One book costs like 10 pounds.

Yeah thanks. Thats what some of my friends are saying as well. I live in New Zealand so to buy CGP book it costs like $55, but in England its like 10 pounds so i'm just thinking what i should do... I'm also looking at sites like trade me to see if anyone is selling their books once they finished with it for the year, hopefully i might get them cheap  :D. Anyways i'll just have to keep looking, might try looking harder after my exams are finished  ;).
Do you know any sites where you can download CGP notes? Any torrent sites or anything? thanks

Yeah i just checked, there aren't any at the moment  :(.
Also i just found out that there are CGP head start books, like 'Get a head start on A2 Biology' revision guide book. It compiles Biology notes from IGCSE and AS that you may have forgotten and is required for the A2 syllabus. I was wondering if anyone has purchased any of these books, and are they useful or should i just stick to buying the normal revision guide? thanks, i know i've asked a lot of questions  :D about these books but i want to get the right one  ;).
