which is the best? is chemistry contexts good?
really ?Originally posted by Ragerunner
If you do every question in that book and understand it your guaranteed at the least 70% in all exams. Don't quote me on that though.
yes. other side is good.Originally posted by iambored
damn, how good is it to be on the other side? i still can't believe it! speaking in past tense
we got em from skool 4 like $1.5 OR $2...can't remember!Originally posted by abdooooo!!!
the hsc stage 6 syllabus/standard packages:
advantages - all relevant, some cool answers, and some stupid band 1 answers to laugh at
disavantages - can't believe it costs $16.95 each, schools aren't even allow to lend it to students as its against the law , and for some reason the board site doesn't even have the last year's standard package for chemistry to purchase
are you serious? the standard package for 2 bucks each??? does you're school just burn the cds?Originally posted by perfectionist

why would you need practice?Originally posted by Ragerunner
But it's a very good book to learn from as well. After you have finished writing dot points you can use this book as practice questions along with surfing chemistry.
I agree that a lot of parts are based on memory, but practice i mean being exposed to a good variety of questions.Originally posted by abdooooo!!!
why would you need practice?
i mean, chemistry is not like math where practice makes perfect... the only things that is worthwhile practising at all is the multi-choice questions and probably the calculation questions.
for the extended responses its just all memory work...
thats so true. its about knowing (guessing) what to write to satisfy the marking guidelines, and writing well and clear enough so the marker will think that you satistied all the guidelines.Originally posted by Ragerunner
Also because you understand the concept may not necesarrily mean you will gain full marks.
yea it would help in that senseOriginally posted by Ragerunner
Practice will help a lot. SuccessOne is a book that will re-inforce this understanding and being able to answer any english type question throughly and gain full marks.
It's not so much the answers that will provide the most benefit - rather the range of different questions you will get exposed to. SuccessOne in my opinion (if you complete the entire book), will manage to cover almost every type of question the HSC can throw at you.Originally posted by abdooooo!!!
but how would you know if you gain full marks or not with these so called "english type questions"? because i wouldn't trust the answers in successone or any other books.
although if you got a good teacher you can probably ask her, and if you don't then too bad... read the standard package and learn to guess the marking guidelines with the questions given.
Yeah..we can buy em of our library...i think it should be allowed...who would buy the original from BOS...well yeah i wud have bought em if they were not allowedOriginally posted by abdooooo!!!

i think it should be allowed too... but its not. teachers could lose their job or schools could be heavily fined if BOS people found out.Originally posted by perfectionist

i don't agree with the 1st part - i think you need other resourcesOriginally posted by Ragerunner

By looking at their answers (which majority isn't always wrong) you can at least see what you need to put in your answers and adjust it to what you think is best.
I didn't mean that you can learn off SuccessOne on its own.Originally posted by iambored
