I only used checkpoints, so take this with a grain of salt.

Checkpoints isn’t really notes, it’s basically a book of practice, past exam and original exam-style questions. So if you’re looking for notes, the ATAR notes book might be more suitable. Otherwise, I found checkpoints great as it exposes you to a lot of different question types, which is very helpful for sacs and exams.

Overall, I’d say ATAR notes would probably be better if you’re having trouble understanding the content, and checkpoints might be better if you understand the content but want to practice applying it. I believe there are ATAR notes topic tests as well, but I don’t know what they’re like.  :)
