Further Reading for ST3

I'm doing ST3 for the first time and feel a little concerned about the low pass rate. I was thinking that some extra reading might help. Has anyone read the book "Actuarial Practice in General Insurance" by Hart, Buchanan and Howe? If so would you recommend it?
 
I did buy Hart, Bucanan and Howe and I also bought "Foundations of Causuality Actuarial science" as well. I made some use of them, but I don't think they are the most important materials for getting a first time pass.

"Tolley's Insurance Handbook" was more use but really covers just the nature of each insurance class

Wouldn't recommend this book, not because it isn't a good book but because the notes we receive from Acted are very similar to the book.
