    Is the ATAR calculated only with the HSC marks or the Trials+HSC+Internal Assessments

    Can I using a prescribed text that is from another module as a related text

    Curve Sketching

    Whatever is sufficient to inform you of what the shape of the curve is and where critical points are. Usually I would recommend finding x/y intercepts, odd/even, domain/range, asymptotes, and stationary points (inflection points as well if the question asks and/or the 2nd derivative isn't too...

    2-3 hours per day isn't too bad as long as they're spent well, but personally I'd recommend doing more study than that
