Ok, I've read the whole discussion about which book you use etc. But I didn't really know which one was better.

Right now I have 3 books at home and I am hoping to re-summarise the whole economics since I've forgotten most of them *sigh*

So here it is...

Macquare Revision Guide (2005) (Easy to understand)
Tim Dixon (2004) - we used this at skool, but its too detailed for revision... But.. still lol
Excel HSC 2001+

I'm trying to read all of them at the same time.. but which one do you think is more useful?

Also, my teacher gave me a whole stack of updates on everything, but i dun think I'm going to finish it.

So do you think I should just remember some basic stats and use it repeatedly, instead of reading those... frightening.. notes.. *sigh*

lol i dunno..they all have good and bad parts so its good to use a combination of the 3..

however i suppose u havent really got much time!! i reckon the excel would be the way to go personally coz its a comprehensive summary of the whole course..and if something in there totally confuses u just look it up in one of the other 2?

i think economics is such an interesting subject..but its such a bitch to study for:burn:

oh and it least have a look at the notes ur teacher gave u..she must have given them to u for a reason so they must be good!

i know the thread creator has finished the eco exam as well but for 2007 economics students..

do not get macquarie revision guide for economics. for business it's great but not for economics.

best to summarise dixon properly into syllabus headings and study those notes.
