Extension 1 Maths good textbooks (1 Viewer)

[RMKD123]

Does anyone know, either from experience or peers, what textbook is really good for mathematics extension 1 when studying for exams?

I currently use Maths in Focus however I have noticed that the exercises and questions are VERY basic compared to the exam questions.

Umm... Fitzpatrick, Cambridge. Those two should do you.

There's Terry Lee Fundamentals of Mathematics, which I found to be really good too.

I havent tried Fitzpatrick but from what Ive heard it is really. What about Excel? do you'se reckon it is good.

 

[Shadowdude]

Excel? Avoid.

Just because there's so much better material out there.

Excel is just like or a bit above mif in terms of difficulty. Cambridge, Fitzpatrick and terry lee are best.

never heard of it ... How are the difficulty of the Qs to Cambridge/ similarity to exam Qs?

Vote for Cambridge from me. Maybe even Couchman.

Cambridge has harder questions than the HSC Exam.

Also, Coroneos is one of the older textbooks, but it is very detailed.

The font takes time to get used to though, never liked it IMO

 

[slyhunter]

good questions nonetheless

in all honesty, a decent textbook (cambridge, fitz etc) plus past papers is more than enough

I use Cambridge, Terry Lee and Fitzpatrick.

I use Cambridge, Terry Lee and Fitzpatrick.

And the Purple Excel book you've yet to return to me.

I use Cambridge, Terry Lee and Fitzpatrick.

That's all you'll ever need + past papers

3U textbooks from easiest to hardest
1. Maths in Focus
2. Jones and Couchman
3. Fitzpatrick
4. Cambridge

I haven't used Coroneos' textbook so I can't rate it.
IMO Jones and Couchman + Cambridge + past papers would be sufficient to prepare to exams

 

[MiseryParade]

Cambridge and Coroneos = winwinwin

Going to get my hands on a Fitzpatrick some day though.

 

[adii]

cambridge for sure, and success one past paper book
