Title: Checkpoints 2013
Post by: Edward21 on November 26, 2012, 10:16:38 pm
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight (no pun intended) into resources for VCE Chemistry 3/4 next year,
I got copies of 2010 Unit 3 and 4 checkpoints: is there significant difference between each year? As in, is more than half the book each year entirely new questions because I'm wondering whether I should purchase the 2013 editions, in addition to what I have now for more comprehensive preparation.
It would be ideal if they were different because I could complete two checkpoints worth of questions, but if they're more of the same then it's definitely not worth having two of them.

Most of Checkpoints is copied and pasted from the VCAA exams, which you can find for  free online. A better option would be the AN-Study guide, which you can purchase start of next year iirc.

As far as I know, those are not there.

However, the worked solutions supplement as notes imo :)

Ok. Then are the solutions in a separate book?
Hopefully the new AN study guide can be released asap  :)

For chem the detailed work solutions will be in a separate book.

PM Thushan for more specific questions though :)
