Help with CGP books for GCSE

I have bought a CGP GCSE AQA Combined Science Chemistry Complete Revision and Practise (the purple one) book. But I'm confused, the book does not state whether it is a higher level or foundation level book. The full Combined Science book does say whether it is higher or foundation, but these separate books do not. Can someone please help. I really need 9s.

I reckon that it would be the for the higher paper if there is no indication otherwise. Maybe you could check the specification for the higher paper and see if your textbook is missing any of the topics: https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse/science-8464/specification/chemistry-subject-content
Make sure to not put too much pressure on yourself!

I presume that some sections of it will be for higher and may? be labelled i.e. there might be a topic for foundation, but it goes into a bit more detail for higher

I had the same books and I used them for higher science and got 8-9s so Im fairly sure theyre higher. If theyre missing anything I just used post it notes and added it in to sections

Thank you everyone for the help. I accidentally bought 2 chemistry revision books though, so in the end i just gave those away and bought a combined science revision guide that said higher level on the front so i wouldn't need to worry. Thank you.
