A lot of people say CGP revision guide contain a whole lot of stupid, unnecessary jokes. Is this true and do they actually have useful content?

They normally include jokes at the start of a page, or the bottom so it doesn't take away from the actual content
I have one for every subject and honestly everything is set out so nicely and it has all the info I need!!

Well, yeah... they do use a chatty, student-friendly/non-boring English but the jokes are too much imo... yeah, of course they have useful stuff in there, after all it IS a revision guide.

Got an A* at GCSE maths with a combination of CGP and past papers!

I always get A* in sciences and use the CGP books, the CGP apps, and my-gcsescience.com and past papers

To get an A*, you need to do past papers (lots of them). You can find them on the exam board website. (My teacher recommends spending 70℅ of your revision time doing past papers).
