Advice for students studying Subjects CB2, SP6 or SP9
These subjects have moved away from the traditional “Core Reading” approach. Instead, the majority of the Core Reading is replaced by references to the textbooks listed in the table below. As a result, ActEd’s Course Notes in these subjects are not intended to be used as stand‐alone courses. Instead, in Subjects SP6 and SP9, the notes aim to summarise the key principles and results and to explain in more detail the most difficult topics in the Syllabus. In Subject CB2, the notes provide guidance through the reading, along with advice and question practice in preparation for the examination. End of chapter/module Practice Questions and a set of Series X Assignments have also been produced.
ActEd’s full‐price Combined Materials Pack in each subject will include the relevant textbooks, as well as the Course Notes and X Assignments, in the bundled price. However, all of these items may also be purchased individually. ActEd’s prices for purchasing the textbooks separately can be found in the table below and the prices of ActEd’s other materials can be found here.
