I actually liked Contexts better than Conq Chem, although Conq Chem is also a very good textbook. Again, I try to use them hand-in-hand so in combo they're virtually unbeatable for information :D

It's a pity my school only provides us with Chemistry Pathways...I have to admit that it probably wasn't the best investment my school made seeing as we hardly ever use it and my teacher usually photocopies from Contexts or Spotlight anyway :rolleyes:
pathways has too much info, but it helps when conq and contexts lack detail.

I don't like the structure of Pathways...Conq Chem and Contexts follow the syllabus from page to page (in most cases), but Pathways seems to jump around a bit, which kind of annoys me. But as you said, it does provide extra info for clarification.

Hmm...I disagree.
What you learn in Year 11 Chem in fact provides a solid foundation for the HSC - concepts like intermolecular forces must be understood for the first HSC topic. Not to mention, virtually all of the formulae you learn in Year 11 are required to some degree in the HSC.
...That's my point. :)
