Hey this year im doing english advanced and english extension, i was just wondering what study guides ppl think would be good? coz the excel one looks really generalises and doesnt related. im talking apart from ones for the novels im reading. I mean is there any study guide things you know of with like text structures and techniques and stuff. Im thinking of getting the excel year 10 one but im like since im doing yr 11 3 unit does that really relate but it looks like what i want sept at a higher level.. k thankz for replies.

I like Brodies Notes they're really good and in depth. York notes are good as well if they're the advanced ones.

i agree york notes for adv
for ext i have the larry grumley one. its for crime fiction so it depends on what elective you're doing i guess.

definitely, they're a bit basic...
even if the excel stuff was really good it wouldn't matter because so many people buy them and regurgitate the exact same information
that said i did buy one excel guide and have made notes to myself as to what i will be avoiding

York Notes are fantastic! You can get study guides from any book stores. I personally buy about 3 or 4 study guides for each novel I'm studying.

i dont particularly like the study guides. you can yuse them to an extent, but in the end you need your own notes. this site is helful. and there arent any studyguides that are made for ext expecially
