Is Excel chemistry guide or Macquarie guide good? what are the pros and cons?

Coz I want to make my own syllabus notes, so would they be good references?

(I've got context, conquering and jac for texts. Now I'm just considering guides or summary)

Any advice will be welcomed =)

either. excel has a lot of unnecessary information that you don't need to know and Macquarie is too brief in my opinion.

I know it's going to be tough but making your own note is the best.

Both are pretty good. It generally comes down to personal preference. Where one fails, the other generally succeeds so its pretty much tied though I think I prefer excel. Best to use them only to make your own notes though and not solely rely on them like ^ said.

Yeah but sometimes it's hard for me to answer the syllabus.
so would they be good references?

i personally think conquering + kiss note + school notes would be the sufficient. (and I did this for my hsc too)

If you're thinking of buying them, don't. Just borrow from the library because I don't think they are worth your money to be honest.

didn't find those guides to be that good for chem.
Conquering+Jacaranda textbooks+dotpoint (short ans version - to copy down some answers for which the former two textbooks aren't the best at) worked quite well for me.

get neither

Jac is the best, use that and some websites for points it doesn't cover well.

People don't realise there are tonnes of good websites for chem (like chemguide.uk)
