I think the fact that they are organised by area of study so you can use them for revision and have detailed answers (or at least more so than vcaa provides) is what makes them worth it, but it really depends on what you're looking for

The book is composed not entirely of past VCAA exam questions - there is a fair amount of question written by the checkpoints author themselves. I can see how this would be dissapointing if you were expecting completly unique exam questions, however I still think that this is a valuable resource.

Do you think they are worth buying? Did they help you out with your exams/pracs?

Personally I didn't use checkpoints for 3/4 chem - however they can be very useful. Like some above have said they sort the question out by topic so makes it easy for students to focus on something they have just learned.

There are cons for this as you do get exposed to quite a lot of the vcaa exam questions so when you do them later in the year you don't get the real examination feeling as you have seen many of these questions before. (this is probably the main reason I strayed away from checkpoints). Although, this may not be something you feel is a negative so they might be a good fit for you.

Thank you everyone who has given input!

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.
