textbook has the questions

[Furbob]

Does anyone have the Neville Box textbook in .pdf format by any chance? PM to me? :X
(Am I allowed to request this here?)

[sgeorge]

I'm not sure if the textbook is available in pdf form...

I have the solutions though http://www.mediafire.com/sgeorge

[Furbob]

ooo thank you very much!
I mainly just need the questions for the Neville Box workbook since I will use the Cambridge book for theory and use Neville Box for extra practice :T

*last post was a while ago, not sure if this counts as double posting*

just wondering, would anyone recommend the A+ Accounting Practice exams? http://www.apluspub.com.au/title/0170134059/2613

considering that their notes didn't get a good rating, I am contemplating about buying it

ive heard they are terrible

ive heard they are terrible

checkpoints are terrible their solutions are riddled with mistakes similar to the cambridge text

YEP, I tend to agree. SOME of the solutions are completely wrong... :\

I've got the 2010 Checkpoints and the 2007 one as well... it's basically the same questions... just different figures have been used.

I was just wondering, in terms of text books. Our school uses the Double Profits one because our accounting teacher wrote it. Should I but the Cambridge one as well? will there be enough prac work if I just do practise exams? or should I buy study guides?

[eeps]

Just to be sure, buy the Cambridge one as well. Can't do any harm. One textbook may better explain a concept than the other. I haven't heard of "Double Profits", though the Cambridge textbook has a stack of exercises in it. I would advise not buying the Cambridge Checkpoints Accounting study guides - for what it's worth, they are riddled with mistakes and it's just essentially questions from past VCAA exams. You'd be better off doing actual practice exams. But by all means, if you find a guide you like, buy it. Just not the Cambridge Checkpoints ones. That's just me, everyone is different.

Get the Cambridge book as well. I would advise you to complete all questions in the book and to read the chapters. Additionally, if you are really dedicated, then you try get your hands on the Neville Box book, the concepts are explained in a very concise manner. Use this book for extra questions, but i'd recommend to only  complete the questions towards the end of the chapter as they are the harder ones. However, only get the Neville Box book if you have the time to work off it, but the more resources you have, the better your chances are of understanding the concept.

the only time i used the other text books was during exam revision.. and yea that was for the theory stuff for the bookkeeping i reckon mr page's worksheets are more than enough, but try to work consistently through double profit (don't be like me.. i gave up on double profit mid term 3 =.=).

Despite that, you still got a really high study score...
