yes but i still think you should buy the exam board own because it will have the information you you know, the reason is that his revision guide might be for different exam boards.What i am trying to say is that you might be reading what is for another exam boards. Do you get what I am trying to say?

well there is the cgp guide for eng lit (depending on what you're studying) but to be honest I just did exam questions from a workbook(York notes) and made good notes.maybe listing down any quotes/important points etc?
cliff, York and spark notes are also helpful as revision guides.

Thanks for the response. But do you think CGP books are too vague or are they helpful? Also, Did you buy any Mr Bruff books on Eng Lit (Christmas Carol, Macbeth etc.)? Thanks
