My top 5 study tips
1Past papers are the key to the HSC. Past papers lead to more experience in exam strategy and time management, which is invaluable.
2Make the syllabus your best mate. The syllabus holds everything you will possibly need to know for any course and sticking to it will ensure you don't waste your time learning content that will never be tested. However, searching slightly beyond the scope of the syllabus if it aids in gaining a thorough understanding of syllabus content should be done.
3Work with friends to consolidate concepts and try to teach each other, as teaching will help you to simplify concepts.
4Make sure to maintain a balanced lifestyle, with exercise and extracurriculars. This will ensure you remain minimally stressed, ensuring your best performances in exams.
5Make sure you do minimal cramming, and spread out your work throughout the term, because this will maximise content retention as well as reduce stress.
