UK EASA PPL Exams - Semi Circular Rule

Does anyone have a link to a document explaining how the rule changes (move to this rule) apply to VFR flights at lower altitudes?

I have my exams coming up but the book I am using seems out of date, the questions on this seem to refer to IFR and VFR flights operating with slightly different 'cruising altitudes' but this is not mentioned in any of my books.

I have looked at this link:

CluedUp Preview: How SERA affects UK domestic rules of the air, general permissions and exemptions | Airspace Use & Rules | Operations and Safety

..but I need to know a bit more detail. It states:

Cruising levels
The quadrantal cruising levels system historically used in the UK does not exist in SERA. Instead, the semi-circular cruising level system applied throughout the rest of the world is used. To aid transition to the new system, this will now take effect in the UK on 2 April 2015.
But I am unsure how the rule applies to flights below transition altitude
