They are bounds refs written by Derrick Ha (99.95, 6 50s, med scholarship, etc.) that you take into the exam. Having looked through them for MM and SM, they seem fairly comprehensive in what they cover. I don't have one, so I really can't give much more info.

They're basically a set of comprehensive notes regarding the entire course. They include worked examples for every explanation of things, plus difficult exam style questions with worked answers.
I foud them usueful as they covered everything and I didn't have to waste time making a bound reference, and I could spend more time revising things that I had trouble with.
I took mine into both Methods and Specialist Exam, didn't need to use them, but it was reassuring knowing that I had everything there.
