  1. It’s just about okay. I wouldn’t recommend it if you want to practice questions/understand concepts thoroughly. For the theory part, it is concise and well sketched, as a study guide should be , but it’s TOO cramped up and takes the ‘guide’ thing too literally.

  2. i guess this is a great resource for Physics but just for REVISING for exams/mocks not for UNDERSTANDING concepts! You need previous knowledge to take advantage of the book!!But its really helpful when REVISING, especially weeks before the exam!!

  4. Like the people above me have already said this is NOT for someone who wants to use it to learn physics, however, if you are planning on using it to study for your IB examination it is perfect! By reading it you figure out EXACTLY what you still don’t understand and are able to focus your studying without forgetting important IB concepts.
