Excel is the MOST useless book i have ever seen.
It misses soooooo many points

McMillian book is also quite good

Our school uses CC

the excell is good for last minute revision though, especially if u havent made yourself a summary. its like all summarised...

I hardly use text books; our school uses cc, but i just get the info (to answer syllabus dot points) off the internet from other sites which explain it better... It seems to be working coz i am coming first in out year; and i dont use the stupid textbook coz it sucks

excel is pretty bad.
we mainly use conq chem but we also have mcmillan- it doesnt seem to clearly cover the dot points as well as conq chem does.

nah excel is good the day before an exam coz it breeezes over the main stuff and has good calculation questions

i've only started using that past HSC book and was actually pretty suprised by how good it is at teaching u stuff... u'll find that u've mostly been underestimating urself and ur not as bad in some topics as u thought u were and that u've got problems in places u thought were sweet... more than that.. with evry1 that i do i seem to be gettin heaps better so it must be workin...

I flick through it when I can't find anything in CC, or if I want to find out more, fill in the blanks, understand it better, etc.

But no, I hardly ever touch my Excel Chem.

same with me, i really don't like that book

edit: i'm glad so many people feel the same, it thought i was the only 1 who hated it
