Read once, sold on
Professional study texts are used for one sitting, then sit on a shelf.
- Edition validity, checked
- Every book is printed for specific exam sittings. Our paper guides show exactly which BPP and Kaplan editions are still valid, so nobody buys an out-of-date text.
- Real savings per paper
- New texts and kits run £23-£48 each - a full qualification is hundreds of pounds. Current-edition used copies typically go for half or less.
- Constant turnover
- With sittings through the year, someone is always finishing the paper you're starting - and their barely-used books need a new home.
Sell while the edition is current
Editions expire on a schedule, so the best time to sell is straight after your exam - while the next candidate still needs that exact edition. Each paper guide lists the current BPP and Kaplan editions and the sittings they cover.
