GCSE MATHS REVISION BOOKS

When it comes to revision time, maths notebooks are notoriously difficult things to revise from. The problem is that maths at school is taught mainly by explanations on the board followed by lots of problems in your exercise books. So when it comes to revision time all you've got are a few scrappy notes and the answers to lots of problems (without the questions!). What you need is something to summarise all that you have learnt (and now forgotten) so that you can quicky re-familiarise yourself with the basic concepts and solve some problems to give you confidence.
