They cover exactly what students need to know, understand and revise in each subject for maximum success, so that students can approach their exams with confidence.;Each book gives expert advice in planning a revision programme effectively how students should pace themselves, how to make the most of their time and energy.;The book has two main sections, Financial Accounting (Chapters 3 to 12) and Management Accounting (Chapters 13 to 21), which coincide with the way that most A-level syllabuses are structured. It is suitable for A-level, AS-level and Scottish Higher Grade students, offering a systematic review of all the major areas covered in all the syllabuses, giving guidance on how to study Accounting for examinations, and providing a large number of examination questions with answers.;Key features: syllabus breakdown and analysis - to highlight major topics and themes; essential principles and applications - to establish the crucial elements of each topic; examiner commentary throughout - to emphasise really important points; exam questions and specimen answers - for self-testing before the exams; typical student's answers - with the examiner's opinion and comments; pull-out review sheets at the end of most topic-based chapters - as an extra aid to revision.;Geoff Black has been Chief Examiner with an Examination Board for the last ten years, and also serves as Assistant Examiner and Moderator for several other Boards.
