Best Book for GCSE AQA further maths ?

Does anyone know a good revision textbook that is good for FM ?

The CGP one is pretty good for quick reviews and revision, but the official textbook is best for a more detailed explanation and lots of practice questions

Yes I was going to say the same, go on the exam boards website and find the recommended books because the people who write the spec have verified they are thorough enough and cover everything. If you're talking about the level 2 certificate, I used the black one that's on their website. I self taught from the book and did every question in the book :smile:

Oh and also there's a great website called first class maths and it has videos, questions, etc.

I don't think you can really draw comparisons between exam boards because obviously nobody will have sat then both lol. And a 9 is a 9, whichever exam board, they'll be treated the same so I'm not sure it matters?
