Psychology GCSE Revision Guide for Edexcel

Nice book

As described

Good

Great revision book for igcse students

This is not a revision guide but more importantly it is not accurate. This book is full of extra information that the students don't need to know for the exam (which is lovely but when the course is so content heavy, extra information is not particularly helpful). The exam questions are so far from the type of exam questions that would come up in the exam it's unreal. This will overwhelm and panic students and teachers. I cannot believe that Edexcel have endorsed this book - the writer has not worked on the new specification and it is evident that I have done more research than he has to know how the exam will look. Do not trust this book. Sara Lomax - Head of Psychology in NW London.

As a teacher of the new GCSE course, it's great to have a detailed resource to compliment the text book. The layout is standard for each of the chapters meaning its easy to locate what you are looking for. The colorful diagrams are engaging and the extra information will stretch the G&T pupils. The key terms are listed throughout the book to remind pupils of their importance. The test yourself questions focus pupils' on their revision and the exam questions are really useful (for both teachers and pupils) considering the exam board has produced very little in the way of SAMs. The end of chapter summaries are succinct and this book will be useful throughout the year for both planning and revision.

My students already love this as an alternative text book, and the fact it includes all the options for paper 2in depth really makes a difference.The simple standardised layout for each chapter makes it extremely user friendly as do the colour coded sections for the key terms, now test yourself and active learning.The structure of the book perfectly matches the specification which makes it simple to cross reference and we even like the fact that it comes in a handy size!An excellent resource for the course which leaves no stone unturned.

Clearly this book has been written as an alternative textbook as opposed to a typical revision guide, much like the authors A level equivalent publication. If you are looking for a revision guide that simply summarises information then this book is not for you.However, if like me you want something that will support and stretch you and your students in achieving the new top grades from a well established and reliable source then look no further.Happy to recommend!

This book unfortunately doesn't achieve what it claims to. It's really a text book that goes further than the exam syllabus requires rendering it a more than a little useless as a revision guide. The A5 size is also quite challenging from a layout point of view with every page absolutely crammed. Give it a miss. If they marketed it as a text book and printed it in A4 I can see it being a useful addon for high achieving students but other than that the other text books that are available are better.
