Okay. Is Terry lee good for 4U because they have the worked solutions?

No, tbh the worked solutions are the worst part. Like if i get an answer wrong, i dont wanna know how to do it, i wanna figure it out myself.
No his book is really good because the exercise questions are on par with the questions you find in pp. Other textbooks are just easy drills.

 

[eyeseeyou]

what's pp?

 

[Nailgun]

what's pp?

past papers

 

[eyeseeyou]

Syd grammar trials are doable, you just have to know your shit and see past the bullshit.
BoS trials on the other hand are straight up fucked

Why are BOS trials fucked?

^ Take a look at one (I think they can be found in the Resources section). Basically each question is hard and there's probably not enough time to finish the exam in exam conditions (realistically speaking).

out of everyone who did ex2 bos trial last year (like a lot of these kids ending up getting 96+ in 4U)
highest was 70%, and everyone was shocked, next highest was 62%

In the previous years' 4U ones, no-one broke the 70 mark I think.

Indeed, highest in 2014 was 65, highest in 2013 was 68
