Do you find dot point book useful, when preparing for exams? Or generally are they useful? I am not sure which one is better Success One or Dot point.
My question is : Is it worth to spend time on doing Dot point question? Or better to do just past papers?

Get both!!
I've replied your other thread in the Biology section, you're doing 3 sciences so it would probably be the same!!

DOt point Biology?

Good luck with studying!!

Thanks mioumiou for the reply! yeah I just saw your post! But different subjects require different study methods, so Dot point might be useful for bilogy but not for chemistry.
I got concerned cause my chem teacher told that they are not that great for chemistry

really? but I think past papers would be the BEST!!
BTW, I've posted up all the links for the past papers for Chem, Physics and Bio, Ext.1 & 2 maths in the Bio section that you've just posted a questions.

Here you go:
DOt point Biology?

Saw your post in Biology too.

For each science, Dot Point has different authors and different formats. The same goes for Creelman past papers.

Dotpoint:
Chem: Fairly good, though imo time is better spent doing past papers. Authors Marilyn and Schell have put lots of effort into making this book, and it shows.
Biology: Quality slightly less than Chem, still worth looking at in the library.
Physics: Poor questions, one-liner answers. Shadwick is lazy and a dumbass, don't buy his books.

Creelman:
Biology: Really good. The questions are arranged in syllabus order. The answers are succinct, detailed, accurate and provides a marking criteria. Highly reccommend you get it.

Chemistry: Fairly good. At least it blows all other past paper books from the water. The questions are arranged by topic, and not by syllabus order, so this might cause a few annoyances. Nonetheless the solutions are pretty good so I would look into it.

Physics: Its okay. Again, the questions here were arranged by topic, not syllabus, so it might cause a few headaches. The answers are a little lacklustre when it comes to extended responses.

LOL, but make sure the author won't see this post or otherwise he/she will be disappointed. (btw, I don't do Physics, so I don't know about the author )

Dot Point books are to vague.
