I just saw this thread and thought I forgot to order this on my book list. Turns out Wooldridges left it off their paper order form. :S I guess I'll have to buy it myself. :/

Definitely worth purchasing. After you have completed exercises in your math book and summaries of a module, what better way to prepare for a SAC than doing questions out of this book.

Alright cool , thanks guys!

I think it's from the past year paper which they reworked on the old ones to fi the new study design.
Handy+convenient for me since I don't do much VCAA old exam papers. Yeah worth buying it though.

It might be worth getting a second-hand one from 2011.

There will be minor additions to the 2012 book, which will mostly consist of adding the two VCAA Exams from 2011 (which can be found on the net).

You can save a fair bit of money and get pretty much the same book.

It is convenient because all the past Exam questions which relate to the individual sections of the course are placed together along with questions made by the writers.

Checkpoints is great and all... the only problem is you're doing questions straight from the VCAA exams... then when you do the VCAA exams, you're already familar with the question and answer which kinda defeats the point of doing a 'practice exam'... This is a problem for me because when i see a question, i remember it... But, its definitely great for SACs because it breaks things up into sections... I would also recommend A+ notes and NEAP SmartStudy guide...

honestly you can buy all that, i hear that checkpoints is always a good one, not trying to diss them at all.... but if your teacher gives you slabs of practice papers (which they will) i'm talking over 100 and you get all the coursework done early so you can start on these, you will be good to go without paying an extra cent!
