‘I wish I’d had this book when I was preparing for my exams. When I was studying for my GCSEs, I tried to revise, I had a drink at the ready, some relaxing music and a quiet space of my own. I sat down ready to revise only to realise I had no idea how to do it or where to start. It’s easy for teachers to say “revise”, but how do you actually do it? That’s when the panic set in for me. It was as if I had missed the lesson at school where you were taught how to revise properly. I imagined all of my classmates at home revising, making copious amounts of notes whilst I sat there not having a clue what I was supposed to be doing. This book would have solved that.-
