there are quite a few books out there, but most use the same HSC exams, so once you buy one you've bought them all.

i recommend the MANSW one, it has good clear solutions (sometimes with multiple methods)

my personal opinion is that if you need to do more than 4 or 5 past papers, then you should reassess the way you are learning; you are probably focussing too much on memorising the solutions to questions.

to prepare yourself for uni, most subjects will only provide 1 or 2 past papers if you're lucky (often without solutions) so you need to get used to learning the content rather than memorising exam questions. just my 2c :)

i would recommend that pink past papers book for 4 unit, as stated by (GUSS....), i think it is published by coroneos publications.

i reckon the corroneous solutions, though having more answers to papers, is a bit too confusing with their solutions at their times and I hate that guys font!
The MANSW ones are the way to go and are available for purchase on their site.

thanks guys. i've gone ahead and ordered MANSW and will snoop around for coroneos.

the old method was printing them off the internet and scabbing up answers from somewhere. but then i just ended up odd bits of paper everywhere.

damn success one, too lazy to publish one for hard maths.

i disagree. the more past papers you do for extension 2, the better prepared you will be for the final exam
