Yeah that's an issue.

Another way of getting the brand name up is to give out a couple of teasers on this forum.

I'm going to put the entire first topic exam + solutions up for you guys :P

Nice. Better than giving away a full exam .. This way you only give away a quarter/a third(?) of your genius approach to Methods. :P

And after being exposed to said methodology students will be compelled to buy to become fully enlightened. ;)

Well I'm not going to lie, I'm not being entirely altruistic by posting the material :P

I'd have bought it for methods this year and would do so next year if there was a specialist equivalent.

Plus if you bring it out, I'll carry it around at school to help you gain publicity.

I would definitely purchase this, if it was no more than $20. I mean you're competing with A+ notes that go for ~20 and have concepts to tackle the exams + loads of exam type q's.

imo you're smartest option would be seeling it for 20-30 to obtain maximum profit (Easy to purchase among the majority of kids) and you should also look into bulk selling for schools n such.

my two cents

Yeah, i also believe 20-30 is ideal.

Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Would definitely buy it. Worst thing that can happen you encounter a question you don't know how to do is to find a corresponding set of superficial solutions that sheds little more light than the original question itself. Just out of curiosity, are you planning on writing something similar for Spesh?

Yea if you are doing a spesh one, maybe let Brightsky help you.

Unforunately, producing just the one book would be a gargantuan task so if I were to do a specialist one it'd probably be out there by 2012 if at all. But I can guarantee you it'll be there if the Methods one takes off.

I reckon that you can charge up to $40 if it has that many exams in it and that the questions are very original yet relevant to the study design. You might want to have the first few exams set as "basic" and then move towards gradually to "harder" exams which contain more VCAA-level difficulty questions. For methods this year I did over 50 exams sets of exams (some repeated) but I personally HATED kilbaha cos they were relevant to VCAA. To be honest, most people who get to the stage where they are near the exam just want to complete exams that will be like the exam they are going to take and anything harder will make them feel demotivated and unwilling to perform their best.

Also, for the chapter tests/topic tests, I would also include a few MC questions and seperate calc and non-calc questions since some of my sacs this year were not all calculator and some had MCQs in them.

I think this is debatable. I did Itute and Kilbaha trial exams night before methods exam 2, probably why i didnt understand everyone's overreactions about how hard it was.

On topic: Yeah i reckon it would be a good idea, if you can gather enough interest, it would definitely help future methods students.

If this caters to other state's curriculums then this could really improve membership btw.
