Re: Excel vs. Macquarie Revision Guides
i think macquarie ones are better
macquarie guides are more easier to read, it is more stuctured and the information is summarised in a way that you can easily understand it.

Re: Excel vs. Macquarie Revision Guides
Personally, I despise using Excel. Books without solid structure really put me off. Haven't had the time to look at Macquarie in depth, but I feel like the source questions may be quite misleading and not indicative of real HSC exams.
What I do for my notes: I summarise my teacher's notes and use some textbooks to add to them. lol My teacher's pretty brilliant, so there really isn't a need to, but one does become paranoid. xD

Re: wat textbook is good for modern history?
There are, its just that the depth of the knowledge that they give is questionable. You can get the Oxford one, the HTA Study Guide, Macquarie (more a study guide but still good) and others as well I guess

I'd rate that and the HTA Study GUides as the best books that cover the whole course, but I'd prefer individual books on your modules cos they provide greater depth.

Sarajevo to Versailles is pretty good too.
There are so many options for each of the studies (National, personality and Modern world) that you'll need to ask your teacher. They should be able to tell you what you're doing next year by now.

Re: wat textbook is good for modern history?
I'd definitely recommend the HTA study guide. It was my absolute saviour in modern this year. I got it from some weird textbook place in miranda, didn't order it from the website.
