Found it useful but it did seem to contain some calculations that weren’t relevant for the AQA AS course. I had to go online to find some of the answers which was time consuming and would have preferred to have them in the back of the text.

Appreciate that the lessons are senario based and practical. The examples are presented and explained in such a way that it encourages the student to think through and not just repeat the exact process, but actually use the concept to figure out the answer. Good course. ????
