How to Work Through These
Take the chapters in order of marks, not in order of the textbook. For each one, read the revision notes to fix the ideas, then do the past-year questions under time — those show you the phrasing examiners actually use, which is usually narrower than the chapter itself. Objective questions are best left for the last week, when they become a fast way to find gaps rather than a way to learn.
A chapter is finished when you can produce the answer without looking, not when you have read the solution and agreed with it.
