I am a private candidate looking to build a solid foundation for A-level. If you are in a similar situation, or perhaps just self studying, then this book loses a lot of value. The reason being that no answers are provided to the worked examples, nor the practice questions. These are only available to teachers through a downloadable pack. This book is more valuable to students who are at school. However, unless hodder education massively reduce the quality of their next publication of this specification, then their book would be the much better choice. This book seems hastily put together and lacks the depth found in other publications.

I recently purchased the GCSE AQA Computer Science 8525 Course textbook by PG Online KS4 Computing Exam Pass Complete and I must say, it has surpassed my expectations. This comprehensive textbook covers all of the topics required for the AQA Computer Science GCSE exam, making it an essential guide for any student studying this subject.
The book is divided into clear sections, each focusing on a particular topic. The explanations are written in plain English, making it easy to understand, even for those who may not have a technical background. The examples provided are well selected and relevant, demonstrating the application of the topics being discussed. The exercises and practice questions are also well thought out, providing ample opportunity for practising and applying the concepts learned.
One of the things I appreciate about this textbook is that it goes beyond the basics, providing in-depth coverage of more complex concepts. It covers everything from programming languages and software development to networks, cybersecurity and algorithms.
The layout of the book is visually appealing, with a clear and consistent design throughout. The tables, charts, diagrams, and illustrations are well presented, making it easy to understand and engage with the content.
Perhaps the only downside of the textbook is that it is relatively dense, with a lot of information packed into each chapter. However, this is not necessarily negative, as it means you are getting your money’s worth and are being provided with a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
Overall, I would highly recommend the GCSE AQA Computer Science 8525 Course textbook by PG Online KS4 Computing Exam Pass Complete to anyone studying or teaching AQA Computer Science GCSE. It is an invaluable resource that provides a comprehensive understanding of the course material. With its clear explanations, engaging examples, and abundant practice questions, you are sure to pass the GCSE exam with flying colours!

Same format as the previous book for the 2016 spec. It’s borderline like a revision guide – there isn’t much detail.
