Re: Tips for 2007 HSC Class
This is the best thread ever created in the 2007 HSC forum. It has a history behind it. It started back in 2005.
Tip #1: Be a bit more resourceful: practice quizes (on the Board of Studies site), past exam papers (trust me, do it with timing), syllabuses, more practice questions, participate in 'marathons' in your subject forum,
CSU website: (nice HSC website)
http://hsc.csu.edu.au/
Find your subject and they've got tonnes and tonnes of summary notes, practice quizes and helpful hints! It'll take forever to get through them all.
SMH Website:

This one's for English but you can click the links for other subjects. They've got more helpful hints, study tips and most importantly- the format of the exams.
UNSW Physics: they cover a lot of content (for those who do physics). They also have nice summaries of the syllabus with good detailed explanations of everything.

Tipe #2: For maths, first learn the formulae and the required steps, second- read through and follow an example, third- try an easy/short question
Tip #3: Improve your handwriting (for obvious reasons). You won't be surprised by the amount of 'poor marking' by teachers who have lost interest simply because they are struggling to read answers written by kids. Also, if your handwriting is bad- it'll be hard for you to read your own notes (which is a shame because you've wasted your time writing it down).
Tip #4: Get off the internet and stop wasting your time here. (You're losing your interest in study you know)
Oh hang on, I was telling you to visit some sites, wasn't I?
