excel 4 maths and english is dumb but good 4 the sciences.

i would say the opposite. excel for chemistry is bad, it has way to much extra information. But i would really recommened the 2 and 3 unit excel books ( for prelim and prob. for hsc) they have fully worked solutions for all questions ( even for proofs and stuff) and they also have quick answers. so you trun to the quick answer section and mark your stuff ( they have tons of questions) and then if you get them wrong flip to the fully worked solutions anduse them to teach you the stuff. i am coming 1st in 2 unit maths and well i would like to thank my excel book! it was sooo helpful ( and still is) as for the chem one, its still sitting on my bookcase, just sitting there ...

well for 3 and 4u maths, use fitzpatrick and cambridge.
chemistry -conquering, contexts, surfing series is really good for quick revision! i find it much better than excel.

hmm i should have to try some other textbooks for chem. currently i use excel ( sucks) and conquering ( okay)

 

[capitaliser_101]

okie dokes, some ppls say the chem textbooks r a bit dodgy in yr 12, and that conquering is better?

2 adv english
Excel books, not the big all-in-one books but the small one with individual texts.

physics
Jarcarada and Oxford

chemistry
Context, Conquering, Pathways (in that orders)

Excel books for chemistry is crap, but the Macquarie study guide is great.
