Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?

But they're just past papers aren't they?

Good for revising for exams

Yeah, not very good if you don't have an idea what the hell you're doing.

They're past HSC exams with worked solutions.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?

there's nothing more that I like than worked solutions

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?

Yeah, there's nothing I hate more than past papers w/out solutions, because I have no idea whether or not I'm doing something correctly.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?

Yeah, past papers without solutions are really annoying.

Well, if you bought extra textbooks, it is up to you to use them whenever you feel like using. I use my Cambridge & Couchman after I complete all my homework.

I'd prefer it if we had to buy Cambridge and use it for school, but then again other people might not be willing to pay so much.
I try to get a general idea of the work from the sheets my teacher gives which are photocopies out of Couchman, Fitzpatrick I think and a lot of sheets she writes. I use Cambridge's "Development" questions because they're the harder level. What do you think of doing half the work the teacher gives and then choose questions out of Cambridge?

Um... I personally would not recommend that unless the work given is absolute pointless (due to its easiness).

Mathematics homework is usually relevant. So I will recommend you to do all the work. However, the work given must be finished within hour and then you should move on to another workbook or something.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?

It's the best.

I don't think macmillan is bad, but it's arranged out of wack, so it's not good for studying before a test. I find that some of the explanations are good and it has most of the stuff, even it it's out of order of the syllabus.

Yeah, I've got Macmillan, from school. Except, it was published before the syllabus changed, so there's a lot of stuff that got deleted from the syllabus that's still in the Macmillan textbook.

Dot Point Books are only for the Sciences. Dot Point books are used for revision so they don't really teach as deeply as a textbook would.
