Most of them you can BS, otherwise I used Pathways, Conq very occasionally and HSC Online ( Charles Sturt Uni) for the pracs. Succes One is good for testing yourself on them.

In the chem of art elective, teachers at my school handed out a model framework for answering a certain prac - it came out, I regurgitated over 2 pages :D.

Nice, i'm praying that will happen for me.

Does pathways have much on the pracs? i'm using conq but that doesn't seem to have much on them.

It has quite a few pracs, or at least a few that were applicable to me :). But I suggest looking at a few methods for every prac so you're very familiar with the theory :) - use a few sources.

I'm still looking for at least one method for every prac. :)

How many pages are they? if there aren't too many, do you think you could put them up on BOS?

Our school gives us the aim/method for all the pracs we need to do in what we call a "syllabus booklet" which also contains questions based on each dot point in that part of the syllabus. It's a fantastic resource and makes a great study aid come exam time. :)

You need to know the general principles behind the prac. You can usually figure out the rest :).

In chem of art last year they asked for a complete description of one prac, an elaborate concoction of reagents in a redox experiment with safety considerations etc.

If you want to see what kinds of questions get asked on pracs, see the trials from last year and the Success One book.

do you think you would be able to scan/photocopy/something this booklet for us? I know it would be a great help for me. It'd be greatly appreciated if you did.
