I've used Cambridge Checkpoints in year 11 and am now getting ones on all my HSC subjects. I think they're good in terms of lay out and information and cover quite a lot, they also use common HSC questions etc. The Biology ones are especially good.

Are you getting the 2012 ones or waiting until December 2012 for the 2013 ones?

2012 ones, there's going to be barely any change in the 2 so I hardly doubt its worth worrying about, especially since there won't be any syllabus changes.

To be honest, I don't think study guides are helpful unless you're really struggling.
Most of them (from my experience) are just like textbooks in that they have a lot of useless information. Most of the time they don't address your case study or example so you won't be able to use it for the dot point.

If you have to buy a study guide, I would recommend one with questions, or if you want to use one with information, then just borrow one from the library

^^ Well the Cambridge ones are all questions.

Not to mention realistically they're good just to tackle once you've already gotten your syllabus notes down pact so that you can see where you are in the subject.

Is Cambridge Checkpoints good for Chemistry, Physics and Legal Studies?

Cambridge Checkpoints is good for Chemistry, has lots of questions for each topic (Production of Materials....etc.. including Options) Would definitely recommend! Also for Biology a good textbook is Biology in Contexts (I think that's what its called). Hope this helps!
