I had been struggling to find a higher physics revision book which I liked, I already had the Leckie and Leckie one (but think it is far to basic, very dull in black and white and the layout is atrocious) and the 'How to Pass' book (but I thought it had too many large blocks of text, I am quite a visual learner). Then I found this book and it is fantastic! It is in full colour, has an extremely attractive layout and plenty of high quality explanatory diagrams accompanying each section of well written, easy to understand text. Go on their website to get a good preview of the inside pages. Don't just take my word for it, I got 93% in my physics prelim thanks to it! The Bright Red range of books is definitely the best range of revision books for higher (I have a few of them), you must buy this, and the others! If Leckie and Leckie don't improve some of their stuff I can easily see Red Revision overtaking them as the most popular supplier of higher revision books within the next few years. Advanced Higher books for next year please!

Had leckie and leckie revision books but I found them dull and boring and not very presentable. I love the bright red revision series, I have for maths, physics, chemistry and biology. Have found chemistry quite challenging but with the help of the bright red revision book it seems to be sinking in finally. If I hadn't found this book I would probably be looking at scraping a pass in the exams, now I feel like I may go all the way an get a B or even better an A, along with the same in all my other subjects. Please take out an advanced highert range as I'm sure this will be of benefit to many people also. Thanks once again.
