if you want IPT resources..check BOS's notes

not too sure how thats going to work for you right now..so i guess ask around here to see which member want to share their notes with you

as for repsonding to questions better..you don't have to waste money on past paper books with response..you can just print the past paper from various school/exams and get your teacher to help you out..or, you can just post them here(as long as you make an attempt to do it first yourself ;))

yeh ... is right. doint past papers is critical to get you cementing your knoweldge and devloping exam and answering techniques, however you don't really need to buy the books to do that. personally, i do have that book as it was handed down to be by a friend from the grade above. i havent used it yet, but should be soon :)

I'd highly recommend it- I even emailed the authors to tell them I commended them on their excellent answers which inspired me to do a good job in my own paper.

IMO, if you use it, it'll definitely help give you an idea of the calibre of answer you need to write in order to get top marks. Alot of HSC questions look like 1-2 paragraph answers, but Success One gives the full multi page answer. Whilst some will argue that this is just crapping on- I followed this technique of explaining (as if they were stupid) and using examples and diagrams, and it definitely paid off.

EDIT: As others have mentioned, feel free to ask questions here- don't feel compelled to buy the book, but I really do highly recommend it. It was my first point of study for my trials and HSC, and it definitely helped me much more than the price I paid for it.
