hi I've just started my a levels and am doing physics (naturally). it is the Edexcel Salters Horners specification and I am getting totally confused by it all. It is new to my school, and we did some practice questions the other day which even my teacher couldn't work out (just to show you the level of teaching I've got). i could really do with a good revision guide, any recommendations? anyone happen to do the exact same specification? is there anywhere you can buy really worn (and therefore cheap) revision guides?

Thanks for any advice from anyone.
