Mac revision guides are heaps good, used it for legal

Tim Riley's books are awesome too, he makes the theory very simplistic for anyone to understand

GET MaQ Chem! It was absolutely vital in my note taking... along with conquering chem and chem contexts.

Is Chem Context as good as Spotlight or Conquer. I find Pathways COOL!

 

[Kujah]

Chemistry Context is pretty detailed. It's like Jacaranda and Pathways, which are both written by the same author

Excel chem is total BS, Conq chem and dotpoint are good

Excel chem is total BS, Conq chem and dotpoint are good

I found the biggest help, to me, were the Success Past Paper books. Know your enemy!

I recommend Excel 'Revise in a month' for science subjects. Good for cramming and getting hold of the basics before moving onto harder exam questions.

For good pre-exam practice, choose 'Success One'. I really liked Macquarie for all subjects- they were neat, concise and understandable and much better than Excel.

Leading Edge for Economics!!!

 

[Undermyskin]

Cambridge Chem, any idea? First heard of it this morning!

 

[Mr.Cassimatis]

excell business books are garbage

leading edge

Well i think Excel for Biology is really good, buut most other excel books for other subjects i find aren't that great.
Jacaranda for Physics is only good for some things.
Physics in contexts and Chemistry in contexts are nice and detailed. They helped me out for research assignments.

Ive got the excel books for Bio,Chem and Phys; and they arent great for a first over of the course but if you already have a reasonable grasp of it they can be pretty helpful in filling in gaps in your knowledge.
The new ones have a writing section next to each dotpoint which i found very helpful.
anddd they have all the information you need for second hand investigations and bullshit like that already done.

Exel for Emma & Clueless in the Transformations Module A for Advanced English.
It's pretty good. BUT DON'T COPY IT! Remember, Markers read the books too!
