4 Stars: I've found it a good starterI found this book so far quite a helpful starter. The exam is quite daunting and I thought that [this book] was well pitched for the beginning of revision. I bet in the heat of the exam I will be glad to remember the basics and the simple structures for tackling the stations rather than getting muddled over the complex stuff and run out of time. After all 7 minutes is hardly anything! Overall, I'm glad I bought it.
