I'll get Fitzpatrick then. My year 10 science teacher recommended me Dot Point for Bio & Chem for both prelim & hsc... my bio teacher this year doesn't give two shits...Aerath said:
Maths in Focus is so shitty - my school made me buy it. :SAerath said:
Dotpoint is only good for revision. It doesn't teach you jackshit. You'd be better off investing in a real textbook (like Conquering for Chemistry), unless you know most of your stuff.leopard said:I'll get Fitzpatrick then.

I agree with the above post. I didn't buy Dot Point because I thought I would get value for money in other textbooks like Chemistry Context 1, Chemistry Jacaranda & Conquering Chemistry.Aerath said:
No. Don't get Context at this stage. You basically have the best combination of Chemistry textbooks.Aerath said:

Yeah I did. I have about 20 maths textbooks and I am not using like 5 of those. I have another 4 textbooks for Biology and I am not using one or two. I have nothing for Business Studies.Aerath said:You have a heap of money to spend.
Wow, I now understand why you are so good at maths; so many sources of questions - you pretty much have an unlimited amount of questions!lyounamu said:
Yea. It's common concensus that MIF is bad.Aerath said:
I do have maths in focus. I never use them and I think the questions are just so basic. However, I do like the explanations given by the book. They are easy to understand.bored of sc said:Wow, I now understand why you are so good at maths; so many sources of questions - you pretty much have an unlimited amount of questions!
Just a question: do you have maths in focus? Cause that is the textbook we use - do you think it is underdone in terms of difficulty?
I am thinking of getting another textbook, but I do have past HSC textbooks my sister used for the HSC - do you think that is enough - one textbook and heaps of past-papers?
I suggest Jacaranda Physics. I have the Physics Context 1. It is such a pathetic book. (I don't do Physics by the way. I studied it during the Christmas Holiday but didn't like it - that's why I dropped it).Devouree said:
Let's say one textbook cost about $50. Just for maths, you've spent $1000?lyounamu said:Yeah I did. I have about 20 maths textbooks and I am not using like 5 of those. I have another 4 textbooks for Biology and I am not using one or two. I have nothing for Business Studies.
If my results reflected how much money I spent on my textbooks, I would be happy. But it didn't (particularly in Chemistry).
