Title: ATAR Notes Cyber Monday (17/12) pre-order bonanza sale!
Post by: enwiabe on December 08, 2012, 06:36:29 pm
Starting Monday week (results day!), and lasting 2 weeks (till midnight on NYE), we will be launching a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge pre-order for all our new offerings for 2013, a whopping 15 books and the UMAT prep course. Look out over the next week for various samples of different products cropping up all over the place!

The UMAT Prep Course is coming along fantastically. We'll be opening the beta test with a bunch of free questions to try on Monday Dec 17. The course will feature over 1000 original questions, with detailed video solutions and comprehensive notes on each section and more. We're working our own special ranking algorithm to try and accurately reflect UMAT scores as much as possible! (This functionality will not be available in the beta test).

So keep your eyes peeled after you get your year 11 results on Monday to try out our fantastic offering!

The following study guides are going ahead for 2013:

Mathematical Methods (2 books)
Specialist Mathematics (2 books)
Further Mathematics (2 books)
Physics Units 3&4 (2 books) (NEW edition for 2013, due to new syllabus)
Chemistry Units 3&4 (2 books) (NEW edition for 2013, due to new syllabus)
Biology Units 3&4 (2 books)
Accounting Units 3&4 (2 books)
IT: Applications Units 3&4

Plus our books from last year:
English Units 3&4
Legal Studies Units 3&4
Physical Education Units 3&4

Tenatives (won't be launched this coming Monday, but are in tentative development)
Literature Units 3&4
Health and Human Development Units 3&4

We're still actively looking for Psychology writers!

What you've all been waiting for, the savings.

Study Guide Prices
All of our 2 book volumes will retail for $70 (these are 2 full books, and equates to $35 per book). All of our single books are $35 except for English which is $25.

For Cyber-Monday only, because you're pre-ordering, all 2 book volumes will be $55, a whopping saving of $15 (over 20% off!). Single books will be $29. And did I forget to mention? FREE SHIPPING.

Note: English, PE and Legal are not included in the pre-order sales. They are not discounted. If you order these books in the same transaction, we will ship those out to you immediately (and your pre-order books will come later).

These books are expected to be ready in late January, so you should have them in time for the start of the school year, and 2 weeks in at the very latest!

UMAT Prep Pricing
We'll be charging $99 for the course, but for anyone who pre-orders it during our Cyber Monday sales, they get a whopping discount of $20 and get it for just $79! Comparable courses from other companies in the industry are offered for $400. We think those prices are disgusting and are happy to slash those prices by crazy percentages. Our product is the same type of content, but charged at a fair price.

Chemistry will have 700+ for sure, and pretty much all will have 600+ though I cannot say for sure. You'll have much more detailed info on each book by Dec 17, guaranteed.

Suffice it to say, they're much bigger than every other guide on the market :P

One will be a workbook with all of the questions, plus the model solutions and the second book will be the detailed, explanatory solutions.

Physics will have 900 pages across both books, just saying, that's right, it'll be bigger than your textbook.

Disclaimer - 900 pages based on prospective estimates only, but will be 800+

Will there be summary for each topics in the study guides? Just wondering.

There will be hyper-detailed solutions which will guide you through the questions and be more valuable than summaries (for Physics, Chem and Maths - which are the only ones I can speak for).

However, for Physics, there will be a short list at the start of the book with all the formulas and concepts which you will need to know (or should have on your summary sheets), which is something that some people have asked me for.

They make great memorabilia! I have the Unit 4 Physics book and Unit 3 Chem book on display in my room, just saying, they'll be collectors items soon, especially when Thushan's famous, everyone will be dying for a copy of that "first book".

Hi,

I was wondering if we pre-order the books on cyber-Monday, and for example I want to purchase Spesh, methods, accounting and also LEGAL (which is already out), will I be getting the legal studies study guide at the same time as my other books that wouldn't have been released when cyber-monday occurs???

Like, will I get my legal studies study guide a couple of days after cyber-monday with free shipping or will all the study guides come together???


Also, one more question, would you recommend using the spesh and methods books (either unit 3 or 4) as a bound reference or make our own???
Title: Re: ATAR Notes Cyber Monday (17/12) pre-order bonanza sale!
Post by: BoredSatan on December 12, 2012, 09:22:08 pm
I can't answer the first few questions but I reckon it is best to make your own bound reference. That way you can add stuff in easily if you find you need it

Hi, this might just be for me, but when I opened the methods sample test, for question 4 there was no question and only multiple choice answers.

Can somebody else check as well to make sure I'm not the only one who sees this.

The Legal book is the same size as one of Thushan's chem books :) So A4. All the guides except for English are A4.

Hokay, so:

Some of the links weren't working, thought I'd tested all of them. Will fix them now.

Legal Studies, PE and English are NOT in pre-order. When you order those, we will ship them out to you immediately. The shipping charge is included in the extra $6 that it costs to buy the book.

Secondly, Further and IT:Apps will be up later today. There shouldn't be an IT:Apps link. I think that was a placeholder.

Post by: enwiabe on December 17, 2012, 11:52:21 am
Also, the reason why the Methods test was missing a question stem is part of the reason why the pre-sale was opened late. I was rushing to reformat that chapter to look like our study guides (the sample hadn't yet undergone typesetting). My typesetting hadn't been edited, so that's why that gap slipped through. I assure everyone, the sub-editing will be very thorough on the finished product. Our books typically have very few errors.

EDIT: It is actually a bug in our typesetting program. The text was there, it's just not rendering in the PDF output for some strange reason.

So, for example if I buy the legal studies one, will it come immediately and cost $35 including shipping?

For Cyber-Monday only, because you're pre-ordering, all 2 book volumes will be $55, a whopping saving of $15 (over 20% off!). Single books will be $29. And did I forget to mention? FREE SHIPPING.
But here it says all single books are $29, and it clearly says free shipping. It isn't mentioned anywhere that legal, pe and english aren't in pre-order..

Pre-order offers continue until December 31, 2012 at midnight. You will see front and back covers closer to the date when we allocate colours. They will look exactly like the covers you see for PE, Legal and English except they will be a different colour.

You need to pay with Paypal. If you choose the EFt/Cheque/Money Order option, it means that you send us a cheque in the mail and once we receive that, then we'll process your order (so it's a lotttttt slower).

If you don't have a Paypal account there is an option to pay with a credit card once you click "Pay with paypal".

Haha, I had the same guilt! Part of the reason why I was never into tutoring haha. Back in my bad (damn I'm getting old), I bought study guides and the like. I find working through things by yourself is a really great way to learn, and exposure to as many different styles of questions (different authors!) is great too. :)

They are generally shipped out the day of your order or the day after. However, once we take it to Australia Post it is out of our control. Please also remember that due to the holiday season, all deliveries are going to be more delayed than usual.

If you don't receive your books by the 2nd week of January 2013 then they are probably lost. In that case, email me at nina[at]atarnotes.com and I'll sort it out.

Hi Ninwa, when you say if you don't receive your books by the 2nd week of jan 2013, are those the books that haven't been released and can only be preordered eg: accounting and methods. Or do you mean books that are already out, eg: legal and English.

Re pre-order books, if you go read the descriptions you'll see this on the bottom:

Quote
This bundle is slated to be ready between January 24 and February 8. Your order will be shipped the moment the books are delivered to us from our printers. In the event of a delay to this expected shipment date (24/1-8/2), you will be notified and kept updated with the progress of the books. We will make every effort to ensure all books are received by mid-February, 2013.

Hope that helps!

@Keshimba, we're going to extend the pre-order by a couple of days because section zero beta is coming out late, which is unfair to the people waiting to see it before they buy. So we'll give them 2 weeks to make up their minds too.

Glad you're enjoying your christmas pressie. Re: the creases, it's all down to how Auspost handles the box we send. We bubblewrap the books so they can't really do any serious damage. But if they don't take care with your box, it'll sadly rattle around their van and a couple of creases will form. Especially when there's only one book in the box, there's more room to move.

Basically complain to AusPost.

Well I don't really mind, it's the information within the book that counts!

Going to have a flick through tonight :)

But hold on, if this had happened before, wouldn't you think of maybe using a smaller box to fit one book in since you would already know that this would happen? This would decrease stuff like this happening again.

A smaller box wouldn't rattle as much or if not, at all, thus would not form creases on a book I have paid full price for and was meant to be NEW.

Are you seriously trying to make such a big deal out of a couple of creases that you want us to buy new bulk packaging? Most boxes do not get mishandled and arrive in perfect condition. We're not going to buy new bulk packaging (running into 4 digits of cost) just because a very small minority are getting very lightly scuffed.

If you're that unhappy with the condition of the book, you are welcome to return it to Level 28, 303 Collins Street and exchange it for a "NEW" copy. Please PM me to organise a time to come in.

You make it sound like we can afford to just go buying every single kind of packaging that exists.

Please remember we are a startup company and are currently turning very little profit.

Will any of these guides be outdated by 2014 due to curriculum changes or the like?

I'm in Year 11 next year but I'd like to capitalise on the bargains and buy guides for my Year 12 3/4s.

I hope so for you guys. I've seen one of the 'prototypes' (I think it was for a PE-book), so much easier to handle than the old version.

Yep. All question booklets will be spiral bound, as well as new editions of Legal and PE. Solution manuals and english will be perfect bound.

All study guides that we currently produce will have new editions when study designs change. If the Physics study design changes in 2014 (I don't think it does, it just changed this year), there will be a new edition.
