Could someone tell me if revising from them is bad (eg is there is a lot of lacking information?) Are there better books available? I find the CGP ones very informative and useful, but this is my first time doing AS levels and I want to make sure they are good.
All I can say is GCSE is SO MUCH EASIER than A level. A level, you will get given so much BS in question form... (So called "exam technique")
From what I remember about those books (only looked through them to get the basic concept at A level before branching out), like I said use them to gain a basic understanding then build on your foundations with Nelson Thornes.
Only used the CGP books that I borrowed from the library to help me on topics I didn't quite grasp at the beginning.
The more resources you have, the better.
Ok thanks a lot for your help my friend Just one more thing, the CGP books you used, were they the same type as the ones ive shown in the link above^^ ? Or the thinner condensed version?

Sorry, JUST noticed the exam board... I did the AQA exam board, not OCR.
This is the link for a page of the physics AQA book. What are your thoughts?
I don't really have a lot to go on based on what was provided (the sixth form provided us with another book (can't remember name)) and we used that.
I think I will delete my messages so your whole* first page isn't clogged up by irreverent junk.
However, going by what I have seen (and the first few pages cover the easy stuff), it seems quite good. Just don't forget not to stick with just one source of knowledge and use the library's resources for other A level books. You may find a Nelson Thornes physics book you could use, I hear the As book is far superior than the A2 book (dropped physics at A2), so, can't vowge for the A2 book, sorry.
For OCR, the Heinemann books are endorsed by the exam board: I think they're the preferred and most commonly used textbook. The same publisher has a set of Revision guides too. Maybe they're good?
