Why do u say so?

You think its worth buying it for $470?
also how has it helped u overall?

 

[empowered]

i think i would say its a good foundation for a lot of my subjects (particularly humanities). But if you want to do well you will have to go beyond it (obviously using more than 1 resource). I don't think I would buy it for $470 though but that's just my take.

 

[askit]

Use science ready for chem/phys - much more extensive + worksheets are really good

 

[v.tex]

I find it really helpful for giving a good summary on the foundational concepts. combine it with the textbook and other resources and your good. I would say its worth the money.

Why do u say so?

questions were just like textbook type/basic mcq & scienceready is lowkey better for learning (though you’d have to pay for qns etc)

I can only answer for Eng ADV and Bio since those are the ones I did.
Eng ADV = No need.
Bio = YES. The Bio Atomi vids are extremely useful for building a strong base foundation. I reckon with just the knowledge from atomi bio videos, you can get like at least an 85 on exams. they have vids for content, exam techniques, quizzes etc. My school paid for it too and the teachers heavily endorse it. Just make sure you get a variety of knowledge from elsewhere though. Don't rly entirely on atomi but it is still defo worth it.

heres some more resources for your other subjects (and eng adv or bio)

i know a lot of people from my school (we are a high ranking selective school) sort of liked the atomi stuff for chemistry, physics and bio not for its content per se but for revision purposes. because the content was organised in reference to the syllabus dot points we could be sure at least most of the content was being covered and the brief videos and quizzes are a like quick refresher for any topic you may have forgotten or anything or are a good tool to like corroborate whatever you learn in task as like a homework revision thingy.

obv it wasn't like the main thing we used to do revision but it was more like a tool than a resource if that makes sense. you should still proritise prac papers and questions for that

if not for the sciences atomi is not worth paying for lowkey

Ye I agree w u on that. Atomi is defo more of a support tool than a teaching source.
@jane1820 u can check out https://thsconline.github.io/s/yr12/Maths/ for past papers. As egg cat said, past papers are the most effective way to put knowledge into practice.

Final desicion i have decided to not purchase atomi n just use free resources + school resources n past papers n hope for the best

that's also fine. Atomi is js a support tool but you can find plenty of resources similar to atomi on youtube. I've heard that ATAR NOTES HSC has a good youtube series on biology. I js chose to use atomi cos I like the infographic/cartoony style and easy to understand diagrams.
