Review :
"The eagerly awaited, revised and expanded edition of this invaluable guide deserves to enjoy even wider acclaim than its predecessor. Those who appreciated the first edition will find many familiar features and much, much more. Pupils will find it useful in their day to day work, particularly in their preparation for examinations, and every pupil aged 10-14 should have a copy; parents too, will undoubtably find it useful. David E Hanson, Former ISEB 11+ and 13+ Maths setter
