It's alright. Some sections were really helpful for clarifying specific assessment points, but others felt a bit rushed, leaving me to look up additional information elsewhere. It's a decent starting point, but don't expect it to be your only resource.

Honestly, I struggled with this one. I found the flow a bit disjointed, and it didn't really click for me in the way I'd hoped. I ended up relying on my textbooks more. Maybe it just wasn't suited to my learning style.

Overall, a very strong guide. It covers the essentials well and provides good context. My only minor critique is that a couple of the explanations felt a little dense, but nothing a second read couldn't fix. Definitely recommend for exam prep.

Extremely disappointed. I found several parts confusing and even contradictory. It felt hastily put together and didn't provide the clarity I desperately needed for my upcoming practicals. A waste of my time.

Pretty solid. I appreciated the clear layout and how it organized the information, which can be overwhelming otherwise. It definitely boosted my confidence for practical assessments. A few more examples could make it perfect.
