URGENT: For the Unit 5 Edexcel Biology exam on the 20th, what book should I read?

The Hodder book, or the Student book or will the Edexcel revision guide suffice?
Or should I read specific tops from each book? (If that is the case, I will be forever indebted if someone could list all the topics that are best explained in each book)
Thanks :smile:

I don't know what kind of revision you have already done, but it seems a bit late to read an entire book now, no? I'd say with the timing, you will best continue with the revision guide as the most important ideas are covered. If you don't understand a topic, use the student book to get a background. The practice questions in the revision book are also quite helpful and just do every past paper.

Don't have the book - we weren't taught from the CGP books. Do you have a pdf?
How is everyone feeling for the exam?
I'm nervous about the part with the article....

What do you think will come up on the article?
I fear it's about lung function/CVDs etc. I hope not too detailed with the AS topics.....
How did people find it?
I sucked but the paper was okay, I think
