Yeah theyre written by the same people.

Maths in focus is COMPELTE SHIT. the questions are too easy. if you only use that textbook, you will be unprepared and caught off guard by the level of difficulty encountered in tests.

Meanwhile i tried get smart and its pretty decent. its a solid book with medium difficulty questions which are challgenging, but not super-difficult. also the questions seem pretty relevant to test questions, unlike cambridge.

Maths in Focus is much easier compared to other textbooks. Don't bother buying the Get Smart book. Buy something like Cambridge instead.

I think it's due to the fact that it is written by different authors.
