Review: Brilliant resource while there is a lack of past papers ... - Lots of exam style questions based on all the topics for the new specification. Brilliant resource while there is a lack of past papers to use for exam prep. I like the fact the tracks are downloadable and not on a CD as this makes it easier when creating an exam CD so you can drag the tracks into the software you are using rather than having to skip and pause a CD. Review: Unsatisfactory access to downloadable music - The music for this book is accessed by a detachable card with a code. Our copy has no card in it. I have emailed the address given and it does not work. I found a phone number online which goes to answerphone and have had no response to date. My daughter cannot use this book unless or until this is resolved. This book is very expensive compared to other similar GCSE question books which makes it even more disappointing. The content looks helpful and in itself deserves a higher rating but without access to the accompanying music the book is not fit for purpose. The publisher should find a better way to give access to the music.
