Does this happen to anyone else using the Excel Success One HSC Paper Book? (1 Viewer)

[CombustionManX]

-Read question
-Give a really good answer
-Check answers in textbook
-Sees that they're completely different (ala: You're wrong)
-Checks official HSC marking guidlines/notes
-Realises that your answer was right all along, and the best possible response

This makes me so freaking ANGRY It's like the book wants me to get dumber, I've had it happen to me like 3 times on the 2006 paper

Their calculations wrong? Well I've never gotten that (I only really check the final answers for calculations anyway), at least I hope I haven't haha

Here's an example of their stupidity, 2006 paper Q23(b)(ii):

Weaker responses did not answer the question’s requirement to state the change in the pH but described a buffering action of the OCl - ion or an increase in alkalinity. The equilibrium concept was poorly understood.

And that is exactly what the book did.

I got an old success book but there was a mistake in a calculation or two which was really annoying and that is really frustrating, that's why if I'm not sure now I try to refer to numerous sources like the net, online board of studies, my notes and the text book.

thats y u use odlum and garner - i think its by far the most valuable resource, imo better than conquering chem + jacaranda chem + chem contexts + any other chem textbook put together
