And course there is the textbook AS and A level Chemistry by Brian Ratcliff, etc. Other than that, I just use a jumble of other resources based on the topic.

It has everything you need to know, nothing more, nothing less, and the explanations are very well written.

true. However for CIE, do not use brian ratcliff. Try longman's a level guide, really good. Other ref books would be Ramsden A level chemistry and Chemistry in context. There are other books too, but 3 are more than enough.

Good luck. :)
