The new written skills books from Revise SQE came out about 2 days before my written exams started. I wished I had had them earlier - I found them incredibly useful. Rather than giving a single sample answer, for each question there are two, a strong and a weak one, with very detailed explanations as to what makes each answer strong or weak. I wished I had had proper time to make the most of these books - but fortunately I passed so all that is left is to warmly recommend these books to others
