umm... namu i would say i have many textbooks (2-3 per subject maybe even 4 for ext. math and eng) but not as much as you lol. However, the amount of textbooks i have are not a reflection of my preparation for the hsc lol. I wouldn't know how to show my preparation for the hsc >.<" cause i'm still in the preparation process cause there's just so much info lol :(

I am guessing that you are referring to my textbook lists. But no, I have not wasted my money. To be honest, many of the books that I have are purely for question purposes and they are mostly the past papers. I have actually completed all the past papers available from 10 of them. And about 6 of them are study guides that have small number of questions.

So, I haven't wasted my money. On top of that, 6 of the books I have are borrowed from the library. So how about that? :eek:

And it's not like I THINK that I am gonna look at all those, it's more like I HAVE ALREADY finished looking at most of them. :eek: :)

I can confidently say that I have done all the Qs from fitzy 2unit and done most of development and extension questions on cambridge on topics where I probably lack most in - physical application of calculus. And I have also done 80% of the questions from couchman books.

And to be honest some books have little small number of questions...and really easy ones lol...so I have done them too. I probably have about 4-5 books untouched...so I am planning to finish them before HSC.

at first glance of ur list I was like whoa daym over the top much but then again the way I do things is like follow a textbook closely and then if I feel weak in a certain area, its always nice to see how other textbooks address different questions so yeah thats when those "extra books" come in handy.

My Books hmm

5 Maths/Maths Ext1
1 English Extn
3 Chemistry (but theyre borrowed so dont really count)

yeahp pretty underprepared but im going library this arvo to rectify that!
