Oh, Exambusters sounds good. Does it have ones for Chem as well? Or just maths?

They have Chem too but I find it lacking. It's like, half the thickness and not quite as in depth as the Methods ones. A+ notes is probably better for Chem. Also due to the nature of Chem something like A+ notes which covers theory would be better than Exambusters which covers technique more.

Really? I thought A+ notes for Chem were a bit bleh. But then again, I did TSFX and what A+ covered in 2 pages, TSFX would write 10 on...

I think for Chem maybe just use your text book and then supplement it with Checkpoints?

I would prefer TSFX chem revision lecture notes over A+. Those things saved my ass for mid years.

I agree!
And also they introduced Byron mid-year, and he literally changed my life; I never knew Chem could be interesting until I sat through a Byron Jones lecture

I wasn't planning on going to any lectures or anything next year. Is that bad?

I think it is - they helped heaps this year!

it might not be a study guide, but i advise for you to start printing all your practise exams for chem/spesh/methods since you dont want to waste your time printing during the school year, it is very time consuming especially for methods and spesh since they have a shitload.

For studyguides, buy chem checkpoints also go to NEAP lectures(good summary notes) and buy smartstudy exam papers, for methods and spesh buy the MAV version of checkpoint WERMS. English is just Insight for the language analysis tools as mentioned from previous posters.

Yeah, there are heaps of papers to print.
So get it done earlier when you're more tolerant and patient about things.

Oh, and also print them double-sided; not only will it save the environment, but your wallet if your school is tight and charges for printing

What's the best study guide for accounting and legal guys?

[mandy]

Thanks mystikal, that printing exams idea is pretty good, haha. I'll be doing that double sided, cos my school does charge for printing

Do double sided anyway, save the trees! Use recycled paper if possible .
^{Anyone else feel a bit.. guilty after printing off 10 practice exams for one subject?}

High five for environmentalism!

yeah, usually I print two pages to the one side, but that makes me mad cos theres not enough space to write.

It's especially bad for maths subjects which always inevitably require heaps of working out

Hahah thanks .
Always trying to reduce my ecological footprint... ^{then someone uses their car to drive a 2 minute walk, makes my actions just useless lol...}

Did a methods SAC today, printed on half pages?!

You've probably already seen this one before, but...

And my condolences for you having to undergo the torture of a Methods SAC. Hope you survived the that traumatic experience of maths

Omg what. How do they expect you to take that

[minilunchbox]

I look at practice exams on my computer and write down the answers on a scrap piece of paper. Woo saving trees and on overpriced ink cartridges.
