Wait English Advanced AoS varies from school to school?

Only for prelim, every school will have the same AOS in the HSC.

You can do it ^ think of your exercises as mini tasks but not as one huge behemoth

Aw thanks nerdasdasdl it's just daunting

guys what maths ext1 textbook do you guys use? Using the Cambridge and I will admit, it's definitely challenging.
Maths just got even more intense. My daily routine is only about maths, the things I do for maths

We're using Jones and Couchman The textbook looks really easy. I don't know why my school won't use Cambridge

My school uses Maths in Focus but I also use the Cambridge one and it is much more challenging especially with the 3 categories of questions.

When I asked my teacher why we used Maths in Focus as a primary textbook for the school instead of Cambridge (we usually brought our Cambridge textbooks and for those who didn't have one she photocopied sheets for them) she said it was to cater for all of the 3u cohort. (since we go to a comprehensive school and Cambridge is relatively difficult for quite a lot of students, it wasn't seen as appropriate)

Hmm my school also used Couchman from time to time. Yeah it's pretty easy though it does explain concepts well so that's a plus.

We're currently using the Cambridge 3u textbook + Coroneos for 2u.

That's interesting. I don't think schools use Coroneos for 2 too often.

How come you only have 11 units in your signature for your preliminary subjects?

 

[justem]

We're using Maths in focus extension 1 but our teacher recommended excel, I have Cambridge tho

How do you find the combination of the textbooks? Like do you like the combination?

IIRC he's doing 1u Catholic Studies which doesn't count for his ATAR.

The Cambridge maths textbook is pretty good - fairly challenging.

I'm not sure about Coroneos though - the other 2u classes have the Coroneos textbooks (however there has been a shortage, due to an influx of 2u students this year). Our substitute teacher so far has just been giving us the early exercises of the Cambridge 3u textbook.

What text does everyone use for chemistry?
