Coroneos Past Paper Book (1 Viewer)

[cutemouse]

Hi all,

What are your thoughts about Coroneos' Past HSC paper book with worked solutions?

I think SuccessOne only goes to 2001, so it might be worth getting this one, considering Coroneos' textbooks are pretty good.

What 'ya reckon?

My maths teacher gave me a Coroneous past paper book. It's like an ancient tome, really old and musty with yellowed pages and all, really really old, apparently the one that she worked off when she was studying for 4U(and she's like 50). Doubt this is the same one you're planning to buy, but if you're asking for an opinion on Coroneos himself, I think he's great. Go for it

It actually doesn't say, as I said, it's really really really old...like dinosaur old. Apparently Coroneos used to print them out in his garage...as in that old, it's got his address and phone number on the back. As in before Coroneos went global. As in the telephone number has 7 numbers in it.

But I guess it's possible that it's been republished a few times. Basically it's 12 "specimen papers" with worked solutions

Im pretty sure the OP is refering to the new release.
The book is a bright covered and released recently. I believe it holds up to 2007?

dont get coroneos book.. working out are all crap.. some shit hey just brings in and takes out..

if you want proper one get success one or terry lee the whore.

I have the 1990-2007 and I seriously don't get with people saying the working out is crap. Too hard to read or what? Because the solutions are perfect; they show the best way how to do the question imo.

The good thing about the time when Coroneos was selling them from his shed out the back of his Old South Head Road residence was that back in those days you could buy individual years solutions for about $3 without having to buy the whole book. Unfortunately this is is not available on the Coroneos website.

Why would you do that when you could buy 18 years worth of solutions with the papers for only 30 odd dollars.

His past HSC papers with solutions can still be obtained from

Yeah, ive got that one.

Although ive only got it up to 2004 because my cousin gave it to me.

I dont really like his working out, like for graphs he gives like a whole page detailed analysis about the graph. All I want is the diagram.

Is it this book:

If so, you can still get it at

I have the pink Coroneo's book past papers from 2001 to 2007. I did the 2007 paper and the 2001 one and was wondering why the soln's seem so different. It all made sense when someone said he died.

yeh ive got it too, the solutions are really good. For the particularly hard qs he often writes notes on the side to help you understand all the steps.
