    It'll depend which exam board you're doing.

    I do AQA A and I think the best for that is this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Com.../dp/185008288X

    nothing by cara flanagan. i went to a 'revision day' where she spoke and she was the most annoying woman ever. made us stand up and do exercise to 'get the blood flowing to our brains'. :/ put me right off her revision guides after that! :rolleyes:

    nah seriously those cat ones are alright. also the individual module revision guides you can get, i think they're pink but i can't remember the name of them, sorry!

    edit: i did aqa so i don't know about ocr, sorry.

    Lol, I used that book and I got over 90% I'm not sure what other books are good for OCR.

    I also used this website http://www.holah.co.uk/page/home/ which I thought was quite helpful.

    Good luck though
