## Customer feedback

Aggregate customer ratings are strongly weighted towards five-star feedback, though a smaller spread of lower ratings means experiences are not uniform. The ratings do not explain why customers responded as they did, so they cannot establish how well the book suits a particular course. The stated AS and first-year A level scope is the key practical fit to confirm.
