Yea.. DOTPOINT MULTIPLE CHOICE provides summaries and questions of fair difficulty but one thing I hate about that book is that the author, I think, did not proof-read it... There are so many mistakes

The best physics textbook, is the one that you write all your notes on, taking information from all the physics textbooks there are.

I have made my school buy Jacaranda and have found it to be pretty decent

Other books i mainly use for my Senior class are:

Physics in Context (the OLD version with the old syllabus)
Spotlight (Mainly for questions)
Surfing
Macquarie
some Dot Point (But so many answers and explanations are not 100% right...)
And a few other things i have picked up along the way

Pwnage, if u would like to sell ur notes, or a copy of your notes let me know. I am always looking for new material and love getting my hands on self made notes and it looks like u did pretty good last year, congrats!
