Yeah I think most people would agree on essentials being the best. :)

My schools using the Heinemann book.. not sure if that is great, but what natalie said doesnt sound too bad.

Also is there a link to where i can find the ebook for the essentials texxtbook? Or if you have it pls pm me.
Thanks

Thats exactly what my schools doing, we're using the heinemann specialists advanced, because the teacher said the people at my school had trouble with the essentials questions. There is the essentials methods book on here, just use the search engine, i found the e-book that way :)
Thanks buddy :) i found that link.

Essentials is an essential.
This kid is smart. Legend LOL :P [ I bought it for MM 1/2 ...much better {especially extended-response Qs} ]

Bahaha you will probably beat me on everything in year 12, but yeah I think the questions in MathsQuest are far too easy, and will not prepare you for everything on the exam. MQ is really good for weaker students struggling to grasp fundamentals, but why it is used at a school like Melbourne High, I don't know :X
vce: english, methods, spesh, chemistry, physics, geography.

There appears to be 2 versions, one that's fourth edition and the other that doesn't specify which edition it is. My booklist doesn't state fourth edition so I'm assuming that I should get the latter.

Which book are are you referring to?

Anyway, the newer edition is always better because the CAS tips (screenshots, etc.) will be updated to the newest OS, get the new one (or the old one if the questions are the same and the new ebook from school library)

you need to add .rar to the end of it and it will work.

Is there any difference between the fourth edition and the older one in the essential that is?

Essentials best for questions, theory not so good.

Perhaps use essentials to do questions and a different book for examples. Maybe the heinemann or maths quest I think theyve got better explainations.

Well perhaps I shouldn't waste many on getting a seperate textbook and just sticking to one. I'll be going for essential.

I agree with you there. It's so brief in it's explanation, Jacaranda is better for theory IMO.
