A very detailed textbook, closely following the AQA syllabus, easy to follow, all well and good for information delivered. This follows the typical approach of Hodder Education, the authors are keen to structure the text on the actual syllabus, often using the same words for their chapter/section headings. When I bought the AQA Economics book I commented the online answers had to be found and printed off by the reader, not always convenient. However at least there were answers, and some fairly detailed ones at that.
For this book I’ve gone over it several times seeing if I missed anything, but there appears to be NO ANSWERS so you can check yourself, a very important part if you’re an independent candidate with recourse to teachers. The bulk of the marks will come in 30 and 15 mark essay questions. However much you remember from the textbook, it’s so important to practice writing timed essays and get accustomed to the expected style and content of answers. In this respect the book falls down very badly. Additionally the ‘Check your understanding’ sections have questions that give no indication of the level of response, 10, 15, 30 marks? So sorely tempted to give just 2 stars rather than 3.
Now I have to buy the ‘Revision Notes’ book so I can at least check my answers.
Possible someone could advise me were the answers are, but still doesn’t help with the quality of questions.

Only downside is that it covers half of tort and half of criminal and the other half is in the second textbook meaning you MUST buy the second textbook- but most teachers incorporate this for their lessons and it’s not an issue.
Works really well alongside the specification and the lessons I am taught and all my class have a copy.

As expected

There are a few typos throughout the book, I also think it would’ve been nice for the questions to show how many marks they’re worth. The sub-sections are laid out nicely, plus the diagrams and tables are useful.
There definitely could be some improvements to this textbook but it gets the job done.

Aqa is great for learning law but there are multiple bias opinions which is quite informal along with many spelling areas. As to be expected a lot of the laws are outdated now but I don’t like the bias opinions, other than that it offers lots of information and helpful tasks
