AS Revise PE for OCR Summary

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

From an expert team of authors 'AS Revise PE for OCR' has been written to address the change in content and style of the OCR 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.

AS Revise PE for OCR Reviews

"Our students find the text and the illustrations to be informative, colouful and above all interesting. The jewel in the crown obviously is the fact that the practice questions are all accompanied by exam-style answers. The proof of the pudding is that all of my students have bought the revision guide and they inform me that it is nice to have as a portable, self-contained text suitable for revision anywhere." Paul Bendall Head of PE, Thomas Becket Catholic School
