txtbooks?

i'm using jones & couchman and a bit of maths in focus at school and i mainly use fitzpatrick at home. i also have cambridge yr11 but not the yr 12 one. since my school doesn't use mif that much, should i buy mif or coroneos or cambridge or should i just stick to the current fitzpatrick, jones and couchman and success one past papers?
also, out of excel and understanding maths (accelerated maths learning), which revision maths book do u suggest is better? and why?
i've bought a maths book that gives practices on hsc maths questions called "100 Mini HSC's" written by John Smith. I don't know if you have heard of this book but if you did, is this a useful book for practice questions?

our school has used maths in focus
i used the year11 book and am going to be using book 2 this year

I thought maths on focus was a bit silly.....I wouldn't rely on it.

what should i do then?

 

[mack]

The Cambridge one is good. I recommend a book called Success One Past HSC Papers. Its got about 16 or so past papers...work through those under exam conditions, it'll be a great help.

[goan_crazy]
