About this title

Synopsis

How to Achieve 100%% in a GCSE - Guide to GCSE Exam and Revision Technique. Written by a teenager for teenagers, this simple guide guarantees success in your GCSEs. Upon its publication the book was featured in The Daily Mail, The Sun and various educational publications becoming an Amazon UK bestseller. Having achieved 10 A* grades (4 with a score of 100%%), the author shares practical tips on revision and exam technique directly relating to current GCSE specifications, including specific subject advice. The book is written from the perspective of a 16-year-old student who believes that everyone has the potential to achieve 100%% in a GCSE. The author focuses on how to study for and answer GCSE exam questions, in contrast to the many revision guides that concentrate on what to study. Confused about how to prepare for your GCSEs? Bored of the normal advice? Then this is the book for you. Second edition edited, updated and expanded by Patrick Blakey, September 2012.
