Yeah, they're quite good (I had "Physics Notes" and "Chem Notes" by A+ Publishing). As sheepz said, most bookstores should have them (I got mine from Academic and General in Carlton) :)

Edit: A+ Publishing have a website at http://www.apluspub.com.au/.

yeah its sold in most book stores that sell VCE textbooks.. it's just a small book that summarises the whole or key points of the course. Even though it's small, it's content is very useful. I used it for Physics the whole year and didn't even touch the textbook and ended up getting 30+ raw for Physics.
I highly recommend it. I got mine from the Academics & General store in the city (Swanston St).

P.S there are questions at the end of each topic.. but the qs are very very easy. Don't buy it for the qs but instead only for notes. If you want qs just go for checkpoints..

I used them for legal accounting and eco. I never really opened my eco one but the ones i did use were very helpful. I would still recommend the neap one first for accounting. But legal id definitely go for an A+ book

The questions in the A+ Publishing books are quite basic. I recommend you to complete the books early (not 1 day before exams) to build onto your knowledge.

I got the Economics one and it's cool but I never used it as much, teacher had it and ran photocopies of it so I used it like twice.

what was the spesh one like? i used methods one last year and it was pretty good, is spesh good like that?

Personally i prefer the Neap ones, bought them today, and they seem more pro at it.

I got a methods one when I was in year 11 because they had a stall at the VCE Expo. They told me, "you should be able to do all the one star questions by the end of the year" but I could only do a few of them. 'Twas useful for year 12 though, similar to Checkpoints really (except the questions aren't lifted from old exams). I got a psych one as well because the people selling the books got my address (I think I entered in to some draw for an ipod or whatever) and kept sending me flyers. I only got the unit 3 one though, I ended up borrowing the unit 4 one from my school library. By the way, check your local libraries for study designs before you go out and buy them. Sometimes it's surprising how much is actually there.
