Heathcote is EVIL

what can you expect, when the author is a woman?

man heathcote is soooooo boring!!!!

1) its black and white, we like colour in our textbooks nowadays; gives us the motivation to revise from it. i highlight my book with many fluorescent colours to make it more appealing.

2) my teacher lives off that book in our lessons. we do the AQA ICT A Level. she uses all the presentations created from the book, gives us the questions from the book, which are much harder than the actual exam, makes us do the case studies from them as well...... argh, its infuriating!!!

as far as i know, those books are the definition of boring and useless because i havent learnt much from them and im doing fine.

however, the excel book is alright, learnt many new advanced techniques.... from it.

I have to admit that the book is very boring to read, and can be a tad confusing on some topics. However, it's useful as a reference book to look up little things if you're not sure on them.
I've found that the best way to prepare for AQA Computing exams are just to do loads of practice papers - they tend to use the same question styles every year.

Er? Are you taking the AQA Computing examination as me? Because this year with the introduction of a new Chief Examiner led to a complete revamp in the style of questions for CPT1. So really churning through past papers wasnt really as effective this time as with our CPT3 and CPT2 examinations which seemed slightly more conventional with regards to previous layouts and question styles.
