well, i'd say, The Phoenix past papers, topic by topic, is the best and most popular text book for you to practice. Other then that, i would also get Trial papers from different schools, ask your teacher for it, im sure they hav heaps, my teacher gave me a whole folder filled wif Trial papers...

hehe, just like to say UNSW rocks as well! i put other preferences that r for Usyd and UTS, but i subtely made my preferences such that no matter how high or low my UAI is, ill still be goin to UNSW -grin-

yup, i havent really researched australia and the IMF so im not sure. But the IMF helps out on short term problems, like CAD, so if there was problems in australia's CAD, then perhaps the IMF could be involved.

i know, some essay questions require stacks of theories, and others, alot of statistics and facts. i think if you are able to shove alot of facts and statistics in with abit of theory, you will go good, no matter how crap you think you went.

i agree. but there are good points raised in these debate hehe. But it will be nice to see it end soon.

yeh, thats another reason why i feel lucky that i did my HSC this year lol. Im hoping to do B commerce at UNSW too :)

of course, but sometimes in my case anyway, their shortcuts are very difficult to understand, and if i work a solution out myself, at least i will understand it. But you have a point there. I think the Phoenix past papers books was the most useful for me, cause the solutions there were very good.

true, but some solutions in Terry Lee, are very complicated, takes a while for me to understand, and i probably end up making up my own solutions anyway:)

i'd say if you really want to go good in maths, forget about the worked solutions. Its just an incentive for you too keep looking at it if you dont know how to do it, and never give it a try. Not having worked solutions, encourages you to actually try and try harder until you can get the answer...

thats the main reason why they revised the HSC for 2001/02 cause there was too much calculations, now its more english and writing based. I dont think there was much calculations in this years one, well projectile motion anyway. So i guess they want the physics to be more writing, less...

yeh, jus hope that is enuf, im jus hoping to get an average mark round 15 will make me happy

i know, the micro question was abit strange, i found it hard to talk wholey on structural change and micro policy, so i kinda talked bout micro on its own as well, oh well

If you are a person who doesnt like Physics then do what i do. Just make notes according to the syllabus, writing notes on each dot points. Memorise and learn the notes you write, and jus go through excel when your tests are near, this will give you an okay mark. But if you want to do better...

cambridge has alot of questions, and hard ones at that, which requires alot of working out, it would take alot of paper you know;)

thats nice to hear, i think i went way betta in 3U then 4U:)
