I assume that the only difference will be the inclusion of questions from the 2019 VCAA / NHT exams? If that really is the case, I would advise against getting the newer one as you would want to be saving the most recent VCAA questions for right before the final exam.

The reason I was so interested in getting checkpoints was because I needed a lot of exam question practice, as I really struggled with that doing bio and I left that to the last minute. I think I will also get them for methods. Plus I think by the time I get to practice exams, I think I will forget most of those questions...
So I do think that I will invest in checkpoints. If any of you have other resources you used for questions, please let me know!

Also, another dumb question, does it really make any difference to get the lasted edition like 2020, I was thinking of just getting the 2019 one. Its the same study design.

There shouldn't be too much of a difference between editions - I would actually favour older editions tbh because the 2019 edition will not have the 2019 exam questions on it thus giving you a trial exam that you haven't seen before at the end of the year. The 2020 edition will incorporate the 2019 exam questions.

Great, well that makes my life easier, and a bit cheaper. While i'm here (I know it is not the right thread), but did you use checkpoints for methods or do you think they would be helpful from your experience?

No I didn't use checkpoints for methods (for the same reasons as chem) - because I didn't want to spoil the vcaa exams that I would do later.

For Specialist Maths, I did have a copy of checkpoints but it was a 2006 version so very old which allowed me to get exam question practice early without spoiling the last 10 or so years of exams.

Again, they can be quite useful for some students so you just need to do what you think is the best for the way you learn.

use your student email for time wasting like this :
way too expensive
Study on isn’t worth the money
