Is CGP good for A level?

I am currently in Y12, and I am struggling to pick out information from the official exam board textbooks, I was wondering if CGP is good enough for A level. The subjects I do are Sociology, Geography, Business I am aiming for at least an A grade.

Please let me know !! :smile:

CGP revision guides are useful but need to be used alongside other revision methods. I use CGP for geography and biology and they are quite useful but you also need to do practise questions and active recall (I use flashcards for this)

Would you say it contains the information needed to get an A grade? Or does it miss out some things on the spec, I also do AQA geography and noticed it missed out on theory of plate tectonics in this case, what would you do?

Probably not because I know for the case studies, mine are different to the ones in the revision guide. You need to be aware of those things and use other things as well to help you revise (like your own notes, flashcards, etc.)

CGP books miss out on A LOTTT of the content, its basically like a summery of what you need to know in a way. for A's and A*'s I suggest going to a teacher and asking what the best revision/ textbook is for that course because I know for a fact they give other examples, its just theyre usually a lot more expensive but totaly worth it I find. Like for my subjects I downloaded the cgp versions but bought the ones the teacher told me to get because everyone uses CGP but theyre not perfect and not enough to get A's. But yh, i think you should go to a teacher, sorry if im too late to this
