LIFEPACs are consumable paperback worktexts, each covering one tenth of a year's work in one subject. Each Lifepac costs $8.80 ($8), and weighs 200g on average. There are ten per subject per level.

A Teacher Guide (containing answers) is available for each subject and grade level. These cost $24.20 ($22) 500g for every subject level except Maths 700 to 1200 (each $35.20 ($32), 1kg) and all the 100 series. In 100 only, there are TWO guides per subject level, and each one costs $35.20 ($32) and weighs 700g.

Lifepacs are ideal because you can buy just the units you need, rather than a whole year's work in textbook form. We do not have fees or contracts - simply order according to your budget but please avoid ordering at the last minute in case we are out of stock.

As all parts of the Lifepac system are copyright, you may not photocopy, but you can protect your investment by using exercise books and Clear Overlays.
