Alternate Resource for Methods 3+4??

So last year i did further maths and my teacher recommended to my class the we go down to hedleys (school book supplier where i live) and get ourselves and alternate resource for further, it cost about $25 and had hundred of questions from all the topics we did, i found it really helpful preparing fro SACS and the exams.
I am now doing Methods this year and with our first Sac coming up early next term i was wondering if it is a good idea to get one like that for Methods, if it is are their any recommendations for the type of book, and if not what other resources/questions do you use to help study?
I have found that the text book has alot of questions that are good but are of no real relevance to the questions i am most likely to get in Sacs or exams.

These are the ones I use; they use exam questions and put them into topics so you study the ones of interest

I'd prefer ones that aren't exam questions as i do them throughout the year and i can get them for free anyway from vcaa.


There is the book i had last year, something with alternate questions but are still simlar to exams.

Thanks for the help though :)

Check what your school library might have too. Might save you some money if you're just looking for a few extra questions to do now and then. You might be able to request your school to purchase books too if you ask nicely.

AN is an abbreviation for ATARNotes (this website). You can find information about it here: ATARNotes Mathematical Methods CAS Unit 3/4 Study Guide 2013: Information and here http://www.atarnotes.com/?p=estore (the 'study guides' link up the top of this site). It's sold through this site and there are a few bookstores that sell it too, but I don't think there was any place in Geelong that sells them (I could be wrong)

Definitely get the AN guide. It's the best Methods resource I've come across.
