atm i've got excel, macqurie, pathway and the latest jacaranda.
excel is without a doubt the worst out of them, its no better than an expensive paperweight. Macquirie is pretty good if you undertand everything and just need to revise something quickly, but i wouldnt suggest using it unless your dead sure that your aware of all the content your required to know and understand it all and need a quick revision.
Pathway's is pretty good, it's written by my teacher
from all the books i've seen, i'd say it has the best practice questions in it, my teacher also wrote the latest version of jacaranda, which is actually alot better with explaining concepts but the example questions are pretty basic and are just like drills (like in maths textbooks). Since the books are all new and our school doesn't have enough to lend to all the students, they gave us cd versions of the text which comes with all these animations that make everything alot clearer. All up jacaranda is probably one of (if not) the most useful books.
... and this is not just bias because i want to have sex with my chem teacher.
