Description

The question books are the perfect partner to the Zero to Finals content found in the books, website, podcasts and videos. They are designed to test your knowledge of the key facts that frequently come up in exams. Every question has been carefully created to ensure you cover the most information in the shortest time. Each specialty is covered with short answer questions, multiple choice questions and extended matching questions.

Testing is probably the most efficient and effective way to prepare for your exams, even if you only add a small amount on top of your normal study routine. The process of forcing your brain to recall information it has learned has a profound effect on memory and understanding. Regularly assessing your knowledge also provides you with valuable feedback that can help you manage your time and address your weaknesses.

However, testing yourself without understanding the broader context will lead to difficulty applying that knowledge to new scenarios. You need a combination of studying and testing. The Zero to Finals notes and questions allow you to study and test yourself on the same content to ensure you understand, remember and can apply that knowledge, ready for your exams.
