Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?
My contribution to thread from what i have read of the new materials: will not be recommending any english textbooks / study guides for the new English Advanced (and Extension One) syllabus.
Although generally - even for the past HSC's - using study guides will not get you very far. If (notice the conditional, and this is only for those who are seeking a very high UAI) one is aiming for Band 6, it is near impossible to achieve this just by following study guides / sparknotes.
Instead, your teachers become very important in developing your understanding of the module / elective and refining your essay construction.
It is quite ironic then - from what i have spoken about with publishers and authors alike - that these study guides sell the best
