I found this book to be very useful as it does what the title says and helps many of us older generation to remember what we used to learn at school but have since forgot (at last this saves a lot of embarassment with the younger generation).

A fantastic little book BUT spoilt by errors in the answer section. "Could try harder - remember to read through answers before submitting paper"

I saw this book in a well known book shop, and bought it on Amazon at a fraction of the price, top marks to Amazon.
This book takes you back to the days of your childhood, with great humour and sentiment, whilst waking up the grey matter at the same time.
It is amazing just how much of the book relates to my learning at school, and will no doubt stand me in good stead, when my children's homework becomes challening!! It is a great reference book, I will be back to order more at Christmas to give out to friends and family.
A superb book.

I bought this book for a friends birthday who absolutely loved it, so much so I'm now going to buy it for all my relatives this Christmas. I love the quizzes in the book, and it is genuinely amazing to have all the things you learnt at school come flooding back. I can't recommend Homework for Grownups highly enough. Buy it!
