I know there is already a thread on this, but i was interested to see what brand is best overall e.g. in a poll
If u pick other plz specify

What's your favorite Maths/MX1 supplementary study book? I haven't bought one before, and I don't want to buy too many.Different "brands" have different strengths in each text because they have different authors working on different textbooks meaning that some textbooks related to particular subject are strong in one "brand" and weak in the other.
Jacaranda for example, may have a good textbook for Physics while Excel might have a good Legal Studies book.
Another issue with the poll is some discrepencies we face. Terry Lee only has published books for maths. So comparing that with other "brand" would not be the best idea.
So, I suggest you visit each subject forum and check each forum out as they have the stickied (usually) thread where they discuss the textbooks.
Alternatively, there is a stickied thread within this forum that you can check out.

Not really, there are many 2unit textbooks for maths: Cambridge 2unit, Fitzpatrick 2unit, Maths in Focus 2unit and a few others. The best ones are Cambridge and Fitzpatrick, they both have difficult questions and fitzy has good simple explanations. Maths in focus is just stupid... i think i will leave it at that.I've noticed there aren't much 2unit books for math, they're all mainly 3unit, am i right? =S ... if that's just effing stupid, then what are some good 2unit books ?
It doesnt really, if it is mixed ie 2/3 unit, then you would get some more difficult questions, but its really unnessesary, there is a lot of 3unit stuff and having it would be useless.Does it matter if you study off a 3unit book if you're doing 2unit?
