Hi there!

I can't vouch for the Neap study guides, however I did use the exampro tests and exams, and they were honestly amazing. Even though some questions (especially on the harder exams) go way beyond expected VCE knowledge, they really helped me hone my approach to difficult questions; I can't recommend them highly enough if you're aiming to score highly.

If you mean Chemistry Checkpoints (I'm not sure what dot points are haha) I'd say they're also worthwhile getting, some of the original questions in there are pretty good, but I'd personally choose exampro if I had to pick. It might also be worth looking at the ATAR Notes guides and topic tests, in addition to the Connect Education notes, I found both to also be useful throughout the year. By no means are any of these resources necessary for success, they just make it a little easier :)

Hello!

I bought the Chem NEAP exam guide, I think (it has a light green cover, that's all I remember). I found it to be really useful for SAC preparation in particular! There are some really good questions in there, and there's a good mix of multiple choice and short answer so that you can build your skills in both areas. It's also divided in terms of topic, so you can refer to the topic specific to your area of weakness or one that your upcoming SAC is focused on.

Can't comment on the other two, since I didn't buy them. (Never heard of chem dot points ???)

Good luck for Chem! ;D

Ahhh thank you so much guys!

I managed to get a hold of a second-hand copy of exampro & the ATAR notes exam guide (gumtree working wonders again) and I'll definitely keep my eyes open for the NEAP one!

Thank you so much!
