I plan on fully reading one of these but which one should i

pearson vs in focus vs excel vs any others and why?

that sounds like a waste of time tbh

but if you insist on doing it I’ve found that surfing chem is the only real textbook (excluding ATAR notes) that I can read without being bored to death

yeah idk I just feel like reading it on the bus etc
im quick at reading and already know the content so i should be able to finish a chapter a day on the bus to and from school or something so it shouldn't take long
Idk why i want to read the textbook tho
btw don't some of the chapters go overboard for each textbook so that would be pointless. Like i remember reading the first chapter of mod 5 bio and it had like more than half of it was irrelevant to the syllabus but i made my notes using the infocus textbook anyways and had a bunch of useless data which i had to cut down later. Like not even slightly beyond syllabus, but just completely new information and a ton of it it was wild.

idt I've ever read a textbook in full apart from modern history

for 'textbook' I honestly have no idea but for bio i use the a+ notes series, actual lifesaver, I heard they were good for chem too

I honestly don't know for chem, for bio I have because I also use in focus and pearson, then it's just matter of cross checking with the stuff there (cos I skim through the chapters before doing them in class to look for common info) and with my teacher's slides
