Yes especially maths. They are all useful I find the one for Chemistry the most helpful though it explains things in lae terms.

All textbooks, no study guides or anything:

English: 3 set novels + 1 textbook
Maths: 1 textbook each
Biology: 2 pathetic little books where you fill in answers to questions, they're lame but compulsory
Chem: 1 5-tonne textbook
Physics: just class sets of textbooks, but I regularly get ones out from the library just for a few nights (mostly NSW ones haha, they're better than Qld ones...but Victorian ones are the best!

 

[marcquelle]

eng adv - 2
eng ext - 2

and the english ones are on my related texts. i don't really like study guides, i prefer to make my own notes (and seriously, i think i have enough reading to do already)

[Aerath]
