Written by experienced examiners George Facer and Rod Beavon, our Student Guides are divided into two key sections, content guidance and sample questions and answers.

Content guidance will:

- Develop students' understanding of key concepts and terminology; this guide covers topics 1 - 5: atomic structure and the periodic table; bonding and structure; redox 1; inorganic chemistry and the periodic table; formulae, equations and amounts of substance.

- Consolidate students' knowledge with 'knowledge check questions' at the end of each topic and answers in the back of the book.

Sample questions and answers will:

- Build students' understanding of the different question types, so they can approach questions from topics 1 - 5 with confidence.

- Enable students to target top grades with sample answers and commentary explaining exactly why marks have been awarded.
