Business Studies - Business Studies in Action (Got a few state ranks at our school using this)
IPT - Samuel Davis (for good band 6 and further reading), + Heinneman as the main textbook + THE SYLLABUS IS IMPORTANT FOR THIS SUBJECT!! - As it is for other subjects too but especially for IPT. Always refer to it and you can memorise the definitions from the syllabus for exams and stuff.

I found the 'Dot Point' series of books to be quite good for last minute Physics revision.

I remember the horrors of reading that book. It was too much and much of it was unnecessary. The Heinemann provides was a lot easier to read, but provided very brief details, though the Davies book is greater in detail.

Well that's pretty much your only choice. or Cambridge.
lol pretty much every school uses BSIA. imo you don't need a textbook for Business Studies in prelim, you can just use a set of notes here and you'll be fine or read your school's BSIA book and makes notes. You'll notice that almost every set of notes here use BSIA haha. I recommend Nerdasdasd's notes

I found the in2 physics textbook for both the preliminary and HSC course to be quite good as well.

For Physics, I would recommend getting Physics in Focus, Jacaranda and Dotpoint. It's always good to have 2 sources of information: I found Physics in Focus easier to understand, while Jacaranda would offer further 'depth in knowledge'. Use Dotpoint wisely. I know a lot of people don't like it (because they're not always 'HSC-style' questions), but it's a very good revision aid to complement past papers in terms of revision and making sure you're up-to-date with your work.
