Hi, I have the 2012 edition of Cambridge Checkpoints Business Studies. The content follows with the 4 main topics; that is - Operations, Marketing, Finance and HR. Each topic covers about 7 pages of length, thus it's useful in exam periods. Then follows HSC past paper from 2007 til 2011, with suggested answers included. Lastly, it comes with study-cards, although it does lack some other dot-points in the course. Overall, my personal rating of this book would be 7/10.

I haven't checked up Excel yet, but I have StudyOn Business Studies, which is an booklet and online study-cards where you can answer questions online and on the booklet. I personally find this better than Checkpoints - personal rating of 8.5/10, but that's just from my perspective.

Good luck with the other comments mate.

Cheers

The Cambridge Checkpoints is really good for revision. Although you cannot primarily learn off it (as it gives brief summaries for each part), it is a good secondary/support textbook and can help before tests.
