Textbooks + syllabus: do they go hand in hand? (1 Viewer)

[jane1820]

Do textbooks cover exactly what the syllabus wants or do they go overboard/miss something? Specifically for sciences
i have been ‘studying’ (just taking notes bc i dont understand 70% of the stuff) for bio and chem n when i go back to the syllabus to tick off i see that it might have over explained or missed something
also my sister (class of 25) keeps telling me to skip ahead bc they’re not as important but obviously i dont take the risk

So like do i rely solely on the textbook before i go back To school or is there an alternate?

Dont rely solely on the textbook. gather ur info for study from a variety of sources. For Bio, I used Scienceready, multiple textbooks, and atomi. (On top of articles etc)
