AQA GCSE 9-1 Combined Science Trilogy Foundation Organise and Retrieve Your Knowledge (Collins GCSE Grade 9-1 Revision) Paperback – 24 Oct. 2024

This is a very good GCSE workbook.Its tailored to the right curriculum and the content is well written and presented.The cover is thick and durable so it should stand up to being used frequently for studies, the inner pages are also made from good quality paper. I would recommend.

This is a super revision guide. As you'd expect, it covers all of the content needed for the foundation science GCSE. It would even be useful as a guide for someone on the higher award, especially if some of the topics are proving difficult. By using the foundation guide it can help provide a foundation of understanding to build into the higher award's material.It's put together thoughtfully, with information and related questions on facing pages. It's well printed and colour-coded and includes answers to the questions. The paper is almost like bible-pages which, combined with the size format (many revision guides are A4 sized, while this is smaller but with many more pages) means that it is nice and portable. It wouldn't fit in most pockets but is easy to carry, just as most 'normal' paperback books.

This is a fantastic knowledge organiser which will be a joy to any tutor and self-driven student. The colour-coded sections are hugely helpful and it is great that the answers at the back are easy to find as they are organised by page numbers and clearly laid out.The size is practical; the book is not as big as so many revision guides, so it is easy to slip into a bag - and a bag is necessary for its protection. I love that this is essentially a compact guide.My chief surprise, and the only thing I am not keen on, is the quality of the pages. The print is a good size and the images are clear and the explanations are good - I like the fact that key words are highlighted (bolded) and this will help learners to retain knowledge. However, the pages are so thin and almost of newspaper quality, though smooth. The pages will not last long if they are repeatedly thumbed by eager students, and will easily rip if handled by careless ones.

This is a really helpful idea that has been well executed in this useful revision guide. Not only does it revise and go over in detail all the important points needed for the Combined Science Trilogy GCSE, it also helps with how to mentally prepare and organise the information learned in order to succeed in assessment and exam. This seems like an especially good idea for STEM subjects at this level, so those who may struggle with the concepts have a chance of getting a better and more contextual understanding.It goes into depth but is easy to follow. Very well written and compiled and organised in terms of layout. This is easy to follow and the perfect helper when learning the AQA syllabus.

This product has been an incredible tool for my GCSE Combined Science Foundation revision. The layout is straightforward and visually appealing, with topics clearly organized into easily digestible sections. It’s perfect for reviewing and retaining key information without feeling overwhelmed.I find the "Organise and Retrieve" method particularly helpful—it encourages active recall and makes it easy to revisit topics. Each section includes summaries, key facts, and diagrams that simplify even the more complex concepts. The included questions are tailored for foundation-level students, focusing on understanding the basics and practicing exam-style problems.What really stands out is how this guide integrates tips and strategies to tackle common challenges, making science less intimidating. The design also helps me track my progress, giving me confidence as I prepare for exams.This is a fantastic resource for anyone studying the Combined Science Trilogy at foundation level. It’s thorough, engaging, and highly effective for revision.
