good question - let me know when you do... but as far as i know there are minimal resources for the revised course.

i mean.... the board of studies haven't even released a specimen paper for the 2011 HSC!!! now would be nice! >:l

is there much of a difference between the Dot point text and the pearsons text?

Apparently I just sent them an email and they said around May to June, so right before the trials...
thank goodness...
though tbh it would be better if they released it right now.

btw a lot of the current content is not compatible with the old dot point book, theres not enough on human rights and parts of crime has been amended on the new one...

i think the best sample papers would have to be the trials - especially the independent paper.

the Dot Point text actually gives questions and you answer them, the content is summarized through dots, so you may not have a good understanding of the content just by simply using the dot point textbook..

is it worth getting in that case?

With the new syllabus being implemented I cannot stress how significant it is to utilise your schools and teachers. Due to the lack of resources properly equipped for the new syllabus. If you are looking for questions, I'd request your teachers to design them based off the new syllabus.

Waiting until Trial time is very inconvenient! Both for the revised Dot Point Publication, and for the release of other Trial Examinations.

is it worth getting in that case?

The Dot Point book is more for a revision technique to the syllabus. Not greatly helpful if you're still learning content / information. Basically it just provides a tonne of questions based around the syllabus, so it examines your knowledge. I'd be using the Dot Point Book later on in the year, primarily for revision (to get used to articulating responses, organising ideas, etc). I'd also probably start using it just prior to trials, in conjunction the HSC / Independent / Catholic Trial Examination Papers and Past HSC Papers (but difficult for us, seeing the implementation of the new syllabus).

Good luck all.
