Yes! The CGP Student Books and CGP Textbooks have some key differences:
CGP Student Books

More concise and simplified

Covers all AQA triple science content but in a more straightforward, revision-friendly way

Includes some practice questions and summaries

Great for quick learning and revision

CGP Textbooks

More detailed and in-depth than the student books

Includes more explanations and worked examples

More similar to a traditional school textbook

Contains exam-style questions and practice

Which One Should You Get?

If you want concise explanations for revision, go for the Student Books.

If you want a more detailed learning resource with exam practice, go for the Textbooks.

Some students use both—Textbooks for learning and Student Books for revision.

HOPE THIS HELPS!! 😊
