For current students and (in my case) those individuals of mature years wishing to go back and fill in any gaps in their A-level physics knowledge -- this is an excellent book.

The format of those title has been updated for improved presentation. Definitions and fundamental points are now highlighted. Each topic is explained thoroughly in concise, lucid language - starting at level 7/8 of the National Curriculum. Worked examples and questions give students practice in calculations from first principles and an immediate test of their understanding of a topic. Designed to provide a link between GCSE and A Level, consolidation sections stress key points and in some cases provide an overview of a topic. Each section ends with a selection of questions, most of which have been taken from past examination papers. More than 200 questions have been added for the fourth edition.

This book covers considerable depth and although it does not match my exam board very well for this reason I like to read it nonetheless. The topics covered may be a bit outdated for the 2010s and the answers ought to include answers for explanation questions and workings out on the hard ones are all the criticisms I'd like to make. It also provides plenty of math if you prefer to see more of it in physics class.

This book provided adequate explanations and details for topics. It's a heavy book though, so I didn't really read it much. There are a lot of questions though and they are pretty useful as additional exercises.
