math:EXT.1
Physics

btw im only buying them to study as review guides!!! hope ill find some good books!!!

For textbooks for extension 1 maths, you should buy the Cambrigde 3 Unit books, they are really good for 2 and 3 unit. As for physics, I've heard that Jacaranda Physics is good for it.

Lols I am the exact opposite.

Don't like Physics in Context though.. :mad1:

^I know, some parts of Physics in Context is really just unnecessarily long and tedious :mad1: There are some points which are good for knowledge though

Physics: jacaranda, contexts, or macmillan(heard it sucks).
3 unit: Cambridge has really good questions but the examples and answers are shithouse. Ive got maths in focus which has the best examples but doesent really have questions where you have to think its just all repitition.

As someone else already said get something other than what the school gives out, you dont want two copies of the same book.

I heard Macmillan sucks for the science subjects

What do you mean the answers are shithouse for Cambridge?

 

[Pubert]

Some questions dont have answers, and alot of the questions in some chapters are proof questions for which they also have no answers. I sometimes find it frustrating.

 

[SoulSearcher]

Well Fitzpatrick is in the same boat as Cambridge, no proof solutions or graph solutions as well, but both are still pretty good.

 

[vizman]

i hate fitzpatrick, the questions aren't worded that greatly

Unless they give baffling answers that don't match the questions as they sometimes do

Coroneos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that for both 3 and 4 unit maths?

Indeed

Is that for both 3 and 4 unit maths?

Probably, Coroneos is pretty good :uhhuh:

 

[dracnom]

is there any text books for 4u maths??? if there is what is good???

 

[~shinigami~]

Fitzpatrick is pretty good for 4U, I think.

Just get a whole bunch, I'm getting around 5 books for 4 unit

 

[Sir Loin]

For 4 unit: Fitzpatrick, Coroneos!, Cambridge (ugh), Terry Lee? (lol) depending on what your school hands out. Each textbook is strong in different topics, so just mix + Match.

 

[Wooz]

^^ Dont forget S.K Patel.

 

[~shinigami~]

Yay! 4 Unit is starting next week.

I'm so excited.

Who else is going to start soon?

 

[-pari-]

I've heard that if you can do Coroneos (for maths) the HSC is a piece of cake

u might wanna try his book as well
