This is the single most useful resource available to people doing A2 OCR biology and I highly recommend it. The textbook assigned (Biology 2) is designed to cover all students aiming from A-E whereas this book is for students with higher capabilities, more in the A-b range. My teacher uses this book over Biology 2 and its always fun to enter a lesson and know every word that is going to come out his mouth.

This book provides a very clear set of notes on central concepts as compared to the Biology 2 book. Every chapter in this book is a double spead, accompanied with diagrams. Information is mainly in bullet point format, which makes revision easier. At the end of certain chapters, it has a summary test, which contains answers. This book only focuses on the core stuff, whereas biology 2 contains lots of unecessary information. At the very end of book, it has past exam questions taken directly from the past papers, not made up. This book does a fantastic job on homeostasis, respiration and mitosis and cell division.
the only criticism i would point out is like biology 2, it does not have a chapter on unifying cocepts, and it does not ... Read More:

This book is excellent and is a must-buy for the more able (A-B standard) biologists whose schools/colleges only give them the OCR biology 2. It is more detailed and comprehensive.
The only criticism is that it is called "Essential A2 Biology for OCR" and yet it DOESN'T cover the whole of the OCR A2 syllabus - only one module! I understand that it won't have a module 5 section, because this module has 5 options and it would be too much to write for each one.
However, it should have a section at the end on module 6! just a synoptic chapter on what it's about, topic overlaps, how to answer the questions, practice questions etc.
But it is still worth buying for the Central Concepts module, especially if you want ... Read More:

This book is excellent, it only corresponds to the central concepts module so don't expect to have any content on the optional modules. But the book is excellent, much much much better than Biology 2 book that my college expected us to use. I would suggest this is used as an alternative to Biology 2, rather than just as a revision guide

I used this book instead of the main biology textbook. This one is much easier to read, very colourful and contains very useful pictures. It's not a revision book for those who need simple statements, as it is detailed and mainly paragrapghs. It does contain everything you need to know and is well worth buying!!!
