Hell yeah. Judging by the quality of his website’s notes, the preparatory questions and my friend’s recommendation, I reckon that the lecture and revision book should be kickass too :). Not sure about access education because I’ve never heard of it. They could be decent. But, from what I hear from my uni friends, tsfx doesn’t quite live up to the hype.

Does Derrick Ha offer tutoring as well or is it just that one lecture?

Has anyone here done the 'intensive courses' from TSFX for Methods or Spesh?

I'm in Yr 11 btw

I went to the intensive classes for both methods and spesh in semester 1.
Personally, i didn't find them very beneficial. I guess it just wasn't my learning style.
But yeah, i guess it depends on the individual.
Basically, when u do those classes... ur just paying for their notes, some extra questions, and to listen to them explain how to work them out.
I think i study better on my own... so yeah...wasted A LOT of time and money on those classes :(

Is it group tutoring? And are the extra questions harder than your typical spesh question or are they just sort of similar to what you get out of books?

Yeah it was group tutoring. About 15-20 people in a class, depending on which class you attend.
And hmm, i think the questions are like the 'interesting' or 'challenging' questions you may find in a text book. And sometimes they include questions which are supposed to resemble exam type questions :)
Truthfully, i didn't really pay attention in class and i haven't looked over the questions...so hmm...don't trust every word i say :P haha

I went as well. I almost fell asleep in the specialist one. I was never an avid appreciator of the specialist course. :(

TSSM is very expensive, along with NEAP and TSFX. AccessEd is the cheapest...VATE is mostly booked up I think.

well does it necessarily HAVE to be the best? :s like the "best lectures" were meant to be booked some time ago. anyway its better going TO A LECTURE then no lecture at all yeah?

theres a free lecture for legal studies at vic uni. first thursday of school holidays. but u have to book a placement the website is like.... vicuni/freelectures or something. try check it out. im positive there is one for psych too.

As if this is a place where people dont laugh at your ENTER.

ENTER does not determine how smart you are. so you can STFU now...thanks
also, PM ME if you have a problem. bring up a problem which CONCERNS ME only, not half of VN who also do the same action.
thanks

Bullshit. The "best" lectures still have places available. No lecture I've ever shown an interest in going to has ever been booked out
