Best Physics Resources?

I'm looking to invest in additional physics resources specifically for physics 1/2. I currently have use a Jacaranda physics textbook and occasionally check out the physics resources on AN.

Which company has the best physics notes? I might get A+ notes but I'm still not entirely sure.

A+ notes are really simplistic/barebones for Physics.

Next year, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of the AtarNotes free lecture notes. They're really helpful, and have more than replaced the school textbook. They were only $20, so cheaper than A+ notes anyway.

Oh and this isn't a paid advertisement or anything ahaha

Haha, thanks.

Have you used A+ notes? If you have, how to they compare to the AN lecture notes?

I did a little looking around, where do you find the free lecture notes? Do I need to buy the entire Webinar package?

No, not the webinar package. The notes were on sale for a limited time; unfortunately, I don't think they're on sale anymore. It's best to ask Ned Nerb.

For Units 3/4, while the A+ notes are quite basic, it is definitely nice to have most the things you need in a small and easy to read book. The questions in the notes might be quite easy, but are good for building confidence as you are learning.

They're not notes, but they do help.

Because the jacaranda textbook is absolute shite, i suggest investing in a Cambridge Checkpoints Unit 1&2 or 3&4 question book. They contain like 1000 questions that actually make sense.
