Fitzpatrick has good questions, but sometimes answers can be wrong and misleading.

All three of them are good. I use Fitzpatrick though.

i bought cambridge year 12, but it was the biggest waste of money, haven't used it yet :eek:

i did buy past paper books for 3 and 4 unit (coroneos one) - much more useful

Firstly, you spelled 'Coroneos' wrong.

Secondly, Coroneos is a very good book for Both 2U and 3U. There's only a few things to fill in, like halving the inteval and the derivatives and integrals of exponentials like 2x. I like the way he sets things out.

Can't say the same about 4U, as it's missing some bits of the syllabus that was updated in 1989, although it's good for integration.

You should use it. Worth its weight in gold. And exercises are a doable size and awesome quality. Even if you do the hard ones for revision, well worth it.

i find jones and couchman to have better questions, not worded too hard like cambridge.
fitzpatrick has some really good explanations though.

and as for maths in focus... cmon, seriously? you dont get exam style questions in there very much. its good for basics but not to practice and study for exams.

If you're going to use Maths In Focus, you might as well use your Year 10 Signpost.
