Why need textbooks when you have the syllabus to study from?

Well apparently if you have Maths in Focus. You need to get another to get over 90.

No. It depends on a variety of factors. Certainly it can help to get multiple perspectives on some of the topics. This may be a benefit, depending on how you learn. However, it is not necessary.

Hey Cecily, I'm pretty sure that you'll be fine by the looks of your organisation considering yourself as being "Executive Member" ^^

unless you somehow got your hands on a really bad textbook, that and some past papers should be enough to do decently
i don't reccomend buying a whole lot of textbooks for the prelim course

having many textbooks may help, though you don't necessarily have to buy them. just borrow them from your library or teacher.

Ouch,

If I bought 10 textbooks, I think my brother and my parents will rip me to bits and not go anywhere, apart from home and school, for the two years straight.

Gahh, how much did they cost?? Hmm?

Either buy/download a text book and then buy a past paper books/download past papers.

That's all you need :)

EDIT: HTA study guide for modern history is really good though - it basically replaced my text book XD
