Title: Buying bound books already pre-made?
Post by: madi1234 on April 26, 2009, 10:26:54 pm
Has other people used the bound books pre-made ?  And if so, did it work well ?
I find further extremely easy. And like making a book takes time, alot of time.

And i'd rather use that time on my other subjects.

Found this real awesome pocket study guide called: The Leading Edge VCE: Further Mathematics - Pocket Study Guide.
And I thought maybe I could use that ?
Or does anyone else know any other good ones?

I used a commercial bound book for methods which provided space for my own notes. I didn't use it at all in the exam but it was there for a backup. I'd say if you're pretty familiar with the course and concepts and you can keep a clear head under pressure then you should be fine with anything really.

A 'cheat book' for maths that is pre-made and sold in bookshops.

It's better to make your own because then you have a chance to review the whole course. You'll also know what kind of thing you'll need to refer to the most. Also, put past exams in there just in case a similar question pops up.
