^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 :D

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 :eek:

What do you mean the answers are shithouse for Cambridge?

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.

Well Fitzpatrick is in the same boat as Cambridge, no proof solutions or graph solutions as well, but both are still pretty good.
Unless they give baffling answers that don't match the questions as they sometimes do :p

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.:)

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