Review

'This Revision Guide picks out the key points from each component within syllabus A, providing a 'revision friendly' manual. The pithy noted format is particularly helpful within the World Religions section, and the material on sections 1 and 2 mirrors the layout of the questions within the examination. For those revising for Common Entrance, this is an extremely succinct and well laid out coverage of the syllabus.' Oliver Bullock, Beechwood Park School
