I've never used it in class! The exterior was kept in a locker, so I don't think there are any noticeable scratches! Recommended for those who have lost theirs! The name is faintly visible, but there are no problems with its usability! My friend said that this was the easiest to understand during the final stages of their exam prep, and I regret not having done it myself. I hope the buyer will use it for their studies and become a winner!!!
