Heya,

They're both pretty useless, imo. It depends on what you're studying. Try to make study-guide-like notes from your textbook/class notes, and supplement it with evidence from both the Excel and the Macquarie books.

I hope that makes sense! The bottom line is to have all your notes in one place, set out in a logical, memerable fashion.

i agree...they only have the most common topics in them. i dont do ancient so i'm not entirely sure which are the most common topics for each section, but you can find out if the ones you're doing are on the notes from past hsc papers on the board of studies site. they have about three from each section.

they're study guides... they're just supposed to be like a mass of summaries or whatever so you'll always need your notes from class when trying to study. the good thing is they're set to the syllabus, so even if they don't go into everything in much detail, they give a basic outline of the sorts of things you should know. i like mine, it's the macquarie one. it seems to have better clearer info, is only one book and even then a bit cheaper than excel.
