Checkpoints or Neap?

Hey all
For unit 4 Psych, do you recommend Checkpoints or Neap smartstudy guide?
I know both are really good, but if I had to pick out of the two, which one is worth it and more useful? Because I know checkpoints is all the vcaa papers, but for unit 4, there's a lot of new content, so won't it be useful? Or will Neap be better?

P.S. I already know their respective prices, and this doesn't bother me... I just don't wanna buy both because I know if I have too many resources I'll probably end up just neglecting some and only using others, if you know what I mean (:


Thanks in advance! :)

I usually find the Checkpoints more useful (harder questions) than the Neap.

I find Neap helps me to learn the material, but if I really want to test myself I would use Checkpoints.

I was considering buying checkpoints in addition to A+ notes but I'm unsure if this will damage the full value of prac exams closer to November... Anyone big fans?

Just get Neap , as checkpoints unit 4 doesn't have many original questions, but instead just past VCAA questions based on the unit 4 content.  :P

No I didn't say that they don't have any of their own questions, I said that they don't have 'many'. So really you're not getting much for your value. But in the end its your choice.
