Cambridge is good and has some hard questions, but a lot of the questions are a bit off-course.

Have a look at New Century. I think that's one of the best. Very specific stuff, good range of questions and the ones with the >> are the challenging questions.

Maths in Focus do some good books which are mostly very basic, but the Challenge sections are useful.

Hope this helps.

Success one is a great book, it splits up all assessed topics in the HSC in chapters, and you can work through them, but see i treat those questions highly, i do everything from my maths textbook then if i feel confident work on the hsc questions and hopefully ace it :p

Past papers are a great resource, Success one is good too, it is pretty similar to the exam questions. Jacarada text book is shit, lack of explanations, and the questions are pretty straight forward, not something you want for the preparation in the exam.

Success one has LOTS and LOTS of questions, seriously I don't think you'd be able to go through the entire group unless you had a weak
