[The Kaiser]

I have One Textbook (Jacaranda) for each science in the H.S.C topic + Dot Point (Investigations + Standard).

For Maths, I bought pretty much all of them.

No books/study guides for English

 

[camomile.tea]

Wow, everyone has so many textbooks. How many did you get for the prelim course?

 

[Aerath]

Wow, everyone has so many textbooks. How many did you get for the prelim course?

One for Physics, one for Chemistry, two for Maths. English, just the texts provided from the school.

 

[Tully B.]

Man, this is depressing.
I have never bought a non-school text book.
Wait no, that's not right. I bought one off a friend who accidently bought 2 of the same one. This is scary.
I'm thinking... last minute New Years book shopping?

 

[0hNivlek]

I bought a few from 2008 year 12's. School organised a day for them to come in and sell their books. Real cheap.

I'm an impulse buyer, so I ended up getting 3 HSC Legal Studies textbooks. I'm not sure if I'm even going to be keeping the subject for the HSC. Couldn't help it. They were only $20.

 

[Sarah182]

So far I have (and this includes excel and macquarie study guides)

Bio: 5
Chem: 5
Maths: 10 (those have definately paid off)
PDHPE: 4
English: 1 (just a study guide for one of my texts, my teacher is much better for notes )

 

[Kaatie]

just curios lyou.. ho do you afford it?

 

[dp624]

i find that for english study guides are useless if you're aiming for a high band 6. doing all the work yourself in your own way (with teachers and friends as guidance) is the best

yea my parents didn't really stop at the $$$. i needed to choose correctly. lawl

 

[duckcowhybrid]

What books did you choose. Sheesh all I have is a Chem textbook and like 3 Maths textbooks, 2/3 unit combined.
