    To do this brilliantly in a level chemistry did you begin your revision in the summer of year 11 or just start revision when you began in year 12? I've also seen that you can get two books, one covering one year of the course and the other the second year, these are also cgp, do you think the one that you used is more effective than this? Also, did you sit AS level chem?
