Yup the questions are really easy and nothing like exam questions

It's only good for the initial understanding of topics.
All the questions are at Q11-Q12 level. If you don't expose yourself to any other textbooks/past papers, you'll get a band 2.

MIF is for establishing the foundation of knowledge

NO
foundation of knowledge????????? rote learn?????????/ MIF only teaches you to rote learn formulae and use them. OP Maths in focus SUCKS, like REALLY badly!

I could give you 1000 reasons as to why it sucks, but ceebs.
I agree band 2 would be waiting for you IMO (slight exaggeration).
Nah but in all honesty:
it's got the crappiest questions
the explanations are bad
too much paper is wasted on the sides (hence it is teaching children to exploit the environment which is bad)
encourages rote learning in maffs (which is NOT what maffs is about!)
MIF decreases one's intelligence because you start to empathise with the author and think the way she thinks (which is quite illogical), then when you get exam questions you'll be like wtfff.
So yeah pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee don't use it, otherwise I have failed in my purpose of life!

What is maths in line now?
How but. I'm trying to help people get the best marks possible by telling them to not rely on MIF and prevent them from getting surprises like I know many people did, who really had potential to do better. They realised too late the effects of using MIF.

Nope.. Doing the HSC this year....

MIF = Most underrated textbook IF they got rid of the exercises and had questions on the same calibre as the challenge sections since this section has funky questions.

I don't understand the hate since all math textbooks aren't perfect.

Then legit try to do as many past papers as possible (including from nerd's sig). The topics you find hard, go over the exercises in cambridge. No point buying it.

^ oh wow. I'm not even gonna start again.
70% of schools use MIF. It's overrated in fact. Some people are naturally brilliant and do well using MIF. But not everyone.
