The pre-order for English and Chemistry begins in 3 hours.

[enwiabe]

LIMITED TIME OFFER: Anyone who orders the study guides while they're in pre-order status receives the following forum perks:

1) +15 Respect per book bought
2) Exclusive use of the Sweet Nothings forum for a month. That's right, that's our (now archived) all-out spam board. You can use it while everyone else looks on, in complete jealousy for your flouting of spam rules (note that every other rule but spam still applies to that board)
3) If we hit 300 books sold in pre-order, I will open up Sweet Nothings again for an entire year to the whole forum (this will happen one month after the people who bought the book on pre-order get to play around in the forum, to give them a chance to enjoy their perk)
4) Remember, you'll only be able to get the huge $10 off English and Chemistry if you buy them now in the pre-order.

The long awaited English book sample! https://docs.google.com/a/student.monash.edu/viewer?url=atarnotes.com/engsample.pdf

There will be hundreds of high quality pages just like this in the book, full of great lessons in essay writing, enumerated with annotated and explained samples.

Get on them! I've seen small parts of the chem one and it looks excellent! I wish I had it in yr12!

Chemistry is taking longer to stylise than I thought... Might be another hour on the chem sample

[oliverk94]

Will the English book just be about essay writing or will include study of English texts aswell?

Thanks

Thanks

It does not include a detailed treatment of each text. Doing so would result in a 1,000 page-long book There are some sample essays and paragraphs from certain texts, but the guide is designed to be applicable to studying every text.

[oliverk94]

Ok thanks. That should be fine then.

[Unknown_one]

Just wondering, will the chemistry book be a summary book as well as a book that explains concepts?
Or will be most likely to be similar to the A+ notes in format?
And the State Library on weekends, when will that begin to operate?
I am sort of thinking to pick it up there
Thanks.=D

Where abouts do we preorder?

[enwiabe]

@Unknown_one: The Chemistry guide is a book full of exam-style questions in exam formats that have really amazing detailed solutions (as well as model solution marking schemes) That will only begin once we have the books in our possession which will be in 3-4 weeks.

@chimpy400: we are running a little bit behind schedule. Technical difficulties and all that jazz.

In the meantime, have a sample of the Chemistry book. This is the first of THREE samples. It is the questions to the first of Thushan's tests. Coming next will be his model solutions, and then finally his explanation solutions.

Chem sample! http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=atarnotes.com%2Fchemsample.pdf

Awesome.
So basically like An ATARNOTES version of an exam for chem?
Though loosely based on helping a student answer these type of questions for the midyears?
How about English? Is it merely Shrimpy's guide to writing?
And how is it bound?
Is it binder or more or less like Derrick Ha's?
Just wondering. =D

It's a collection of exams. There's something like 10 topic tests and 3 general practice exams. You should see the explanations! They're taking forever to edit and stylise because they're so detailed!

For the english book, it is Shinny and EvangelionZeta putting down their ideal essay strategies and writing techniques along with annotated samples

And the pre-order is live!

We're currently operating on paypal only. We will add other payment options in the coming days. You can buy the books at the "estore" link at the top of the page.

[enwiabe]

The model solutions for the sample test are up! They're in the original post. I'm off to see System of a Down live in concert which means the detailed explanation solutions won't be style edited and uploaded until I get back from that. I trust that when I return there will be 300 orders for the books and nothing will have gone wrong.
