Their answers are the best, imo.

Success One answers can barely pass the exams if they were doing it for real. There is no mark allocation in success one, you don't even know where you get ur marks, that's just pathetic. Success One answers are either straight copy and paste from text books, or so concise that barely answers the questions.

I think in the HSC you are supposed to give both points to get the full mark. So if you get one of those half marks then u get nothing in HSC.

I have both the Success One books and Creelman books. Personally I think Success One books have far better answers.

Creelman textbooks are excellent for maths. Much better than success one. Similar with Physics and Chemistry. I have success one for extension maths but I would much rather a Creelman one. I heard the Creelman went out of business, any verification?
