    It depends on the subject, for example for physics the collins book is great, but for chemistry it's awful... and vice versa for CGP.

    Also collins only do books for the AQA exam board... plus CGP books look nicer and are full of hilarious pictures, so I'm gonna say CGP.

    At GCSE, CGP was really helpful, but I found at A-Level they were lacking if aiming for anything above a B grade. This is all for science/mathsy subjects.

    CGP is the alpha revision guide, all the rest are beta.

    CGP got me A's and A*'s at GCSE.
    CGP got me A's for the modules I've taken so far for my A-Levels.

    Take what you want from that.

    Look at the 2 buttons near quote. The one with the - sign is negative rep. The + sign is therefore positive rep.
