Trust Scotland's most popular revision guides to deliver the results you want. The How to Pass series is chosen by students, parents and teachers again and again.

This is the only study book that addresses the skills for Advanced Higher Chemistry, as well as the knowledge.

> Recap and remember course content. Concise summaries and diagrams cover the important points for each Key Area in the latest SQA specification.

> Test your skills and knowledge. Regular 'check-up' questions throughout the text help you to see if a topic is secure before you move on. This style of active revision is much more effective than simply reading.

> Practise exam-style questions. Formal questions with mark allocations are provided at the end of each Key Area, reflecting the types of questions you will face in the exam.

> Get expert tips for exam success. Hints on how to achieve top marks and avoid mistakes are based on feedback in the SQA examiners' Course Reports, giving you insight into the marking process.

> Teach yourself with confidence. Independent study has never been easier with clear explanations, definitions of technical terms and answers to all questions at the back of the book.

> Plan and manage your revision. Checklists for each Key Area enable you to benchmark your progress against SQA's assessment standards and make sure you're on track to get the grades you need.
