Win A Complete GCSE bundle plus £20 voucher in Day 5 of #BackToSchoolBooks

Posted By in #New!, Competitions, For Teens | 262 comments

If you’ve not made friends with it yet, then you need to go and introduce yourself to the Collins4Parents website. It’s not only jam-packed with excellent books for every stage of your child’s learning, but they also offer a boat load of useful resources and practical guides to help both you and your resident student.

Right now there’s also an online 30% discount for parents on all Back to School books, so now’s a good time to stock up. Just use the code BTS2016!

Day FIVE in #BackToSchoolBooks fortnight – and this one’s a hugely important bundle for the teens. Something I have found as I navigate my way through parenting four kids to adulthood is that things definitely do NOT get easier as they get older. Oh, sure, there’s definitely less cleaning of bodily fluids and show-tying assistance required. But other big stuff comes along and completely knocks your I’ve-got-this parenting confidence sideways.

One of those is the exams. I swear it isn’t THAT long since I took my own exams (listen, if I say it wasn’t, it wasn’t, okay?) – and I did pretty good in most of mine. But in the space between mine and theirs things have changed. Like, a LOT.
Oh, I can still hold my own in a discussion on the themes of Romeo and Juliet. But GCSE Maths contains things I didn’t even know existed when I was 15 (degrees are divided by minutes? Really? And I may have covered Conditional Probability – but if I did it certainly didn’t hang around in the grey cells to be recalled 25 years later). And I only did GCSE Biology (well I did Chemistry too, but I got a D…), so help with the Physics elements of combined science? Nup, not me. Same for History (though Dad did History at A level, so he’s not bad at it).

So having a course Revision guide is pretty much essential. Nothing beats having it laid out in a book that you can pore over together, make notes on and work through. And these Collins GCSE Revision and Practice guides? For me they’re the best. Clear and straightforward explanations with super-handy concise revision notes. Plus they include seven practice opportunities, for every topic covered in the curriculum. And on top of all that, an ebook edition is included.
back-to-school-collins-5

Day 5’s prize includes five of the most popular GCSE revision & Practice books, PLUS a £20 John Lewis voucher (come on, every student needs to relax occasionally – and why not with a little retail therapy). To enter, just use the box below – closing date is the 16th of September, and first name out of the cyber hat wins. Once you’ve entered, make sure you go back and enter the earlier days if you missed them – and stick around, we’re here all week ;)

Good Luck!

Collins Back To School 5

Author: Laura

A 70's child, I’ve been married for a Very Long Time, and appear to have made four children, and collected one large and useless dog along the way. I work, I have four children, I have a dog… ergo, I do not do dusting or ironing. I began LittleStuff back in (gulp) 2004. I like huge mugs of tea. And Coffee. And Cake. And a steaming cone of crispy fresh fluffy chips, smothered in salt and vinegar. #healthyeater When I grow up I am going to be quietly graceful, organised and wear lipstick every day. In the meantime I *may* have a slight butterfly-brain issue.
