AS Revise PE for Edexcel Summary

AS Revise PE for Edexcel: A Level Physical Education Student Revision Guide Endorsed by Edexcel by Dr. Dennis Roscoe

From an expert team of authors 'AS Revise PE for Edexcel' has been written to address the change in content and style of the Edexcel AS Physical Education syllabus that commenced in September 2008. Presented in a concise and visual approach for effective and efficient revision, consisting of substantial student notes with colour illustrations, photographs, tables, figures and revision summary charts. Subject matter is summarised, explaining in simple language what are sometimes complicated concepts or issues. The key concepts are defined clearly with examples that can be used in answers to exam questions, enabling the student to self test. Practice questions are provided at the end of each syllabus section and the answers amplify the subject matter and provide clues as to how the exam itself should be approached. Modern terminology, nomenclature and units have been used wherever possible. At the end of the book there is a comprehensive index available for easy reference. Much of the material within this book has been thoroughly student tested. To view a sample chapter visit www.jroscoe.co.uk and click 'Product tryout'. Endorsed by Edexcel.
