My school uses the Jacaranda one by Grivas and I haven't heard any complaints yet, so that one?

Yeah Jacaranda is really good! They have extra information too, which helps in your understanding of many concepts.
There's the Oxford textbook too, which I think for some concepts (like stress) it's better than Jacaranda (at least for the old study design) but for everything else imo it doesn't go in-depth like Jacaranda

I used the Grivas textbook in Year 12 - and currently use that as my basis for Psych info. I find it a little bit better than the Oxford one, personally.
