Putting this out there, didn't want to create my own thread. Does anyone have other Methods Textbooks for 3/4? What are your thoughts b/c change in study design might mean better textbooks.

Cambridge is the best Methods textbook imo, and it's definitely enough for the time being until practice exams (except for maybe Checkpoints, but they aren't really good as they're just VCAA questions).
On top of that, maybe a study guide if you want exam techniques or info on what can turn up on the exam and what can't, (?) but Cambridge Essentials is fully comprehensive for course content.

Just to mention, the chief author of Essentials (M.Evans) is head chair of the VCAA Maths committee. That means he writes or has input into all the VCAA maths exams, if that will swoon anyone over to Essentials.
