Margaret grove doesn't have a 4 unit book :/
There's a reason I used it exclusively for harder MX1 :haha:. But yeah, don't use MIF I think Pender's book better, all Latexed and a greater variety of exercises (I like the extension activities for Pender as well, especially for the greatness of combinatorics and probability).

Please. Why not both? =). But yes, MIF is the only way forward.
HAHA both will be brutal!
I still can't choose which one to do (both courses I like), I keep changing my mind every now and then. I guess it'll be dependent on my ATAR. Adv math is only 95 at UNSW with bonus points so that's sweet and Actuarial is 97. (EAS bonus points, if i fall short of 97)

Have you seen her challenge questions? They are literally equivalent to the skill level required to answer MX1 multiple choice :/

I agree with your second part :)

I dropped to general because of MIF..... (not really but I hated it so much I used the Cambridge one to supplement it)

This was me first term in year 11. I sucked so bad and that's coz MIF promotes rote learning.

The difference is actually MASSIVE and that's not an exaggeration. Best to switch asap.
