biology textbook BATTLE: NSW BIOLOGY VS BIOLOGY IN CONTEXT (SPECTRUM OF LIFE) (1 Viewer)

[blackops23]

Hi guys,

I have both of these textbooks but I really would like to know which one of these textbooks would be better make BIOLOGY notes from. Basically which textbook is better for the BIOLOGY HSC.

Here's my opinion of the books: NSW Biology is very well structured, clearly corresponding to the syllabus dot points. It also looks aesthetically appealing, and has a decent amount of info.

BIOLOGY IN CONTEXT: Book has an absolutely overwhelming amount of detail (which is a positive thing), however the actual content seems to be scattered and not very organised, doesn't correspond to the syllabus very well, but still has very nice detail.

So based on your experiences which one is the better textbook?

NSW Biology definitely. the format and content is so much clearer, the information is easy to understand, and in my opinion, it's easier for making notes from. the practice questions and prac summaries are also very good.
