Recommend me a AS and A2 Revision guide for OCR A Level Biology.

Used a CPG one this year and it simply was not enough. I need something more in-depth. Also, if its under £20 that would be helpful also :smile:

The CPG is the obvious textbook to get since it is OCR endorsed and it will contain everything you'll need for your exams. However, if you want to do a little extra reading on some of the topics, your best bet is to simply doing some reading online. You could also ask your teacher for their recommendation.

I would caution against buying a different textbook. Some may contain information in much more depth than you are required to know (which can be good, but also stressful). Others may contain a large proportion of information which isn't on your syllabus, making the purchase rather useless and you would be better off simply going to your local library to rent the book.
