Best prelim physics textbook? (1 Viewer)

[redhat]

Jacaranda is awesome!!

jacaanda is the best !
i saw physics context.. that looks good.. umm i know chem context is mad.....
excel is good for summaries and last minute reading :|

 

[jacQ]

excel is really good
there's alse this series called 'get smart' that's cool too
kinda like excel but it doesn't have as many questions for you to practise

yeh jacaranda is the best. straight to the point and follows the syllabus well
contexts kinda looks more complex (quarks / leptons / hadrons in cosmic engine wtf?!) so i wudnt recommend that (unless u read phys text books for pleasure)

i cant believe people are buying physics textbooks for the prelim course. Im also in yr 11 and my physics teacher goes dont waste ur money on yr 11 prelim textbooks for physics to the whole class because what we learn this year will almost be irrelevent for next year. This year is like just a practise and it sets a platform for next years work.

like, the stuff i write myself r all in pieces and in crappy handwriting so i need a textbook for exam time.

make sure u realise that the syllabus will be the most important 'text' for most subjects...
