Cambridge Textbook Relevance

[Aqwoi]

Hello,
In anticipation of the school holidays leading into year 12, I was wondering precisely how much of the content within the Cambridge HOTmaths textbook is worth covering. Is every chapter/all content assessable on the exam? If so, would it be logical to begin at chapter 1 and move sequentially through the chapters?

This is the 1/2 variant I have for year 11--I'm directing the question at the exclusively 3/4 one, though: https://www.cambridge.edu.au/education/titles/Mathematical-Methods-VCE-Units-12-print-and-interactive-textbook-powered-by-HOTmaths%3ACambridge-Senior-Mathematics-Australian-Curriculum---VCE/

(Also interested in knowing whether this is the same for the Specialist textbook, too.)

Thanks

Hey there!.
My school is doing the Cambridge 3/4 textbook, and we're just going through it Chapter by chapter, so I durn well hope it's all relevant!
But yeah, I'd say that all the topics it covers are assessable. My favourite thing about the book is the interim chapters that are like a mini Topic revision section... i.e; Chapter 12 covers all calculus questions. (I dunno if this is unique to Cambridge or not, but I just thought it was pretty nifty...

Wouldn't have a clue about the Spesh textbook, sorry...

Hope this helps ya.

The Cambridge textbooks for methods and spesh are an excellent way of covering the course as they provide basic questions for you to practice so you understand all the concepts. I did nearly all the questions in each textbook along with all the relevant SAC preparation and found that I was well prepared when I started practice exams.

I think it is definitely worth working sequentially through every chapter, doing as many questions as possible (although some of the later questions in each exercise as quite difficult and not the type of question they would ask in an exam).

Thanks for the replies.

If anyone else has further testimony, your experience would be appreciated, too.
