not worth the money
too much information is forced at you too fast, your not going to take it in

 

[iambored]

yeah there are ones at the uni, i never went to one

 

[velox]

yeah also NEAP ones, but they are a huge rip off , like $1000....for the term (they only last a term i think)

^ 10 weeks, so yea abt a term. . but its not every week, its spread out until the HSC exams..

 

[frodo]

so do u guys think a tutor or an intensive course would be better?

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

I think a tutor would be better

studying yourself is the best though

yep

a tutor or any other help will be only be as good as your willingness to do work

Do what i did - get a shitload of past papers and do them all under strict exam conditions, try and improve on your mark every time. Of course you would have to wait until you have finished the course to do that though, so you would probably be best to just do the exercises on the topics you have done out of textbooks you use

Even after every teacher told me not to go, I went to the Sydney uni ones for economics, physics and mathematics.

Believe me, you are better off getting private tuition as there is too much content and it is basically skimmed through. Personally I found it of no real help.
