If you don't have this book, go buy it now. I assure you, it will be worth the buy. I used to be a C/D student in Chemistry, and after I used this book, I got an A on my mock exams.
This revision guide contains basically everything you need to know for your exams; whether they're GCSE or IGCSE. (I take the IGCSE, and i used this revision guide)
it covers material for both the dual award and separate sciences; it goes over:
1.classifying materials (solids, liquids and gases, changes of state, atoms, bonding, etc etc)
2. Earth Metals (hydrocarbons, fractional distillation of crude oil, catalytic cracking, metal ores, the blast furnace, ammonia, limestone, the reactivities series)
3. Equations (balancing, half equations, empirical formula, etc etc)
4. Air and Rock (today's atmosphere, the carbon cycle, rocks, weathering, the water cycle, etc etc)
5. periodic table
6. reaction rates
7. additional material for people who are doing separate sciences.

I own this book among many other CGP revision guides, and the way they explain information is way above the rest. In each chapter, you revise the topic, and then are tested to ensure you understand.
They even make it funny!
I have just finished my year 10 exams, and they were a great help - without them i definatly wouldnt've got an A in Chemistry and Biology.
I really recommend this revision guide.
