"...with just this book I still managed to grade at over 80% in the final exam. It lays out your angle of attack with neat chapters, clear tips, and very useful boxes that explain concepts that other books tend to gloss over...

...As someone with no math or physics A-level, this brought me up to speed with what I needed to know, and only what I needed to know. No messing, no time-wasting. There are flow charts at the back to link it all together, and practice questions with answers to test knowledge. Its small and concise.

Quite honestly if you're getting ready to revise for a physical pharmacy module and realize you just didn't get it or don't know where to start, then start here with this little book."
