Class of '08 Roll Call (2 Viewers)

[Slidey]

Old Patel? The one I used on 05 was Blue and hadn't been updated in quite a few years, IIRC. Is there a new version?

 

[Undermyskin]

The blue one is the new version I mean. The old one is black with a huge bluish square at the centre.

 

[buchanan]

Patel wrote 2 books. One is an Excel book, the other is a textbook (both of which are into their 2nd editions). Here are the links:

You can get Terry Lee's at http://www.hsccoaching.com/documents/shop.html

Patel was especially useful for Integration, Polynomials and Complex Numbers - lots and lots of tricks and alternate methods.

Coroneos had an awesome section on Integrals, too - especially the bit where you could test yourself on 100 different types of integrals you might see in the HSC.

Terry Lee, Patel's bluish book and Coroneous' one.

Personally, I got Cambridge and Phoenix just to supplement

WHOLY CRAP !!! so which 4u book dont u hav lol.
Sticking to the thread im another mx2'er

 

[Kujah]

Coroneous is somewhere in my cupboard, and somehow, I got my hands on Patel's Excel book But textbooks doesn't guarantee success! Effort, determination and practise is the way to go.

 

[buchanan]

I made a more thorough textbook list <a href="http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/texts.pdf">here</a>. Have I missed any?

You can do past papers for practice:

My school's using Cambridge, when they get enough textbooks for all of us. There are a lot of people doing extension 2 this year.

I'm doing Extension 2, even though I did okay in the 2 Unit HSC last year... It just looks like fun.

 

[jet]

I doing it accelerated this year. SO far its not so hard. Weve done complex numbers and curve sketching, and starting conics next week. THe bad thing is that we still have to do 2 unit assessments until the HSC.

 

[whoo1029384756]

Yeah, i'm doing 4u. It was a bit hard at first, now its actually quite easy. Using Cambridge and Fitz (i think its too easy, learn more from Cambridge)

 

[Caitlin63]

well yeah here I am from rural NSW lol - I am not a "country person" though haha.

Our school is using SK Patel, the blue second edition but we dont have enough for everyone in our class so some people have the first edition. I am sharing my book with a friend at the moment because we are doing curve sketching and the exercises are different

 

[jcurry]

[rooeys2]
