AS Level Textbooks?

Hi, so I've only recently just started my AS year and at the first lesson of each subject they ran us through what the course will be like, gave us a ton of useful information and resources, and textbooks that are a must buy.

Should we buy these textbooks as soon as possible or wait to see how we feel about the lesson?

Also, in Biology they want us to do a small test so they can see if anyone is not capable of doing the course, but that will most likely be next week. Should I purchase a Biology textbook as soon as possible or wait to make sure I am able to stay on the course?

Depends on how devoted you are to the course. If you feel that you will be dedicated and do well; you may as well get the textbook as soon as possible. If you need to pass a test to see if you are capable; I would recommend just using the stuff you already have as textbooks can be expensive, and as such you wouldn't want to buy one and then find that you drop the course.

Most courses start of pretty easily anyway, especially Biology (I find) so why not wait until you think you need it?

Thanks, I purchased the ones for the course that I know I'm going to carry on for the year, but I'm not going to get Biology yet until I know I am able to stay on the course.
