Title: Heinemann vce zone specialists book.
Post by: cohen on November 28, 2010, 09:31:41 pm
On my book list, it tells us that we are required to buy the Heinemann vce zone specialists enhanced edition. Does the enhanced version differ from the non-enhanced version?
Also, with the worked solutions for the specialists zone, would the worked soloutions also apply to the enhanced edition?

If the enhanced version is anything like the new enhanced version of the heinemann chem book, then no difference (unless you like a few new pictures)

...Don't forget that the Chem Enhanced CD has worked solutions and two full practice exams.
No idea about maths though.

You can get worked solutions for the non-enhanced version pretty easily and you can get many many practise exams from vn.. that is no bonus.

I don't believe I mentioned the word 'bonus' anywhere? Merely informing the OP that there are differences between the versions and he/she should be aware of them.

+1,

Prac exams in 1+2 mean nothing anyway as teachers from schools (most schools anyway) write their own exams anyway (and they are nothing like company -including Heinemann- 'practice' exams)

'Enhanced' is a profit grabbing venture by Heinemann, and nothing else.
