I did AQA and didn't actually use an official textbook (my teachers didn't reccomend them) so they instead gave us printed copies of Chemrevise revision guides and oh my god they're lifesavers. They're free on the Internet and cover, I believe, every exam board. They're great for everything but especially the practicals as I found no textbook actually covered the practicals.

I used this.

Can’t remember how good it was however. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chemistry-Context-6th-Graham-Hill/dp/1408514966/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1516309283&sr=8-5&keywords=Chemistry+in+context

I got a C overall.

I'm on Edexcel Board but do you need anything other than the Pearson Endorsed student books for chemistry A-levels?

I also have George Facer's books but that's from previous spec so I'm thinking if I need anything more for the new specs.

@ me if you have any recommendations, thanks!
