Yeah I very rarely make notes for my subjects, but I was thinking whether to try making notes for this HSC year because I want to put as much effort as possible. Is making notes a good idea in general? Or should I use that time to just keep reading the book and doing questions?

In the holidays I remember people were like "oh im going to finish my physics and chem notes and then do past papers".

I just read both textbooks cover to cover and made sure I understood everything, and then did a few questions.

But really whatever works for you

If it works for you, then stick with it. For what its worth, the top people in our grade in phys and chem don't write their own notes but you could argue that this is correlation rather than causation (i.e. people with better memories don't need to write own notes + would do better anyway).

But yeah, if it works for you- stick with it imo

I recommend notes for those 6-8 markers in Sciences. I suggest you prepare a strong response but for calculations, you probably will not need to.

Give it a shot and see if it works for you.

This pretty much - everyone is different. The strategy I used for notes would probably only suit a few people, but it worked really well for me.

But in Uni aren't course notes given to you?

 

[Hoangsta]

1. attain state ranking notes
2. print
3. read, highlight, memorise.
4. 99.95 atar

lol nah in all honesty
im probably gonna go through textbooks read, read/memorise(if needed) other notes that i have/will manage to scab of ppl, and then hit p/p questions.

umm

not really

The primary purpose of writing notes for me isnt to read off them. I learn by writing them down.

 

[RealiseNothing]

yep, I totally made that retarded question up by myself. It was all my idea aye?

Well who else could of came up with such a bad maths question?

Has to be you. Still can't believe you posted that.

2U Exam is on 22nd of October and 24th is 3U. Can anyone give me me a ratio of past papers to do 3U : 2U (or a number for both)
A seperate ratio for normal trials (preferably a number)
And a ratio of how many hsc exams for 3U and 2U (hsc exams as in past hsc papers etc)

Keep in mind that Im aiming for the 100 Raw for 3U and that 2U isnt really going anywhere and its quite easy anyway (plus I exercise the mathematical skill required for 2U by doing 3U papers)

well for starters do 2001-2011 hsc (3unit)
and then go into the 80's for a real mofaken challenge.

for 2unit, u wont need as much.

try do 1 2unit and 2 3unit exams a day and you'll be perfecto (y)

Well where would I get the hsc papers pre-1995 because I cant find them on google and I would think they should be free since its a public item?
(I shouldnt need to buy a stupid book just to get papers that should be public)
