The 6th edition came out in June 2024, with a 2025 copyright.

What about physics?

Older editions of the book also had a physics chapter. The 6th edition doesn’t. If your school still gives a physics section, ask what it covers, and use other materials for it.

How to use it

  1. Ask your school which sections it gives. Skip the chapters you won’t be tested on.
  2. Take the pre-test to find your weakest areas.
  3. Work through those chapters first, then the rest.
  4. Do the online practice exams under timed conditions.
  5. Finish with the post-test and review every rationale, including for questions you got right.
