Hey guys,
Well we got HSC in less than 3 weeks and fuark im scared! lolol
I just wanted to ask, I've gone through the entire IPT syllabus and learned and memorised most of it but im just wondering what do i do now?? Like i did the 2005 past paper and i could do most of it but I'm just wondering like what do I do with the answers?? I can mark the MC but the long response just sits there gathering dust. I was wondering if theres any other forms of study I could be doing which could help me for the HSC. Any help will be appreciated!!!! Thanks

Is there any chance you could go through a few more of the long response questions and then take them to your teacher and have them go through it with you / give you some feedback?
I guess you can kind of get a sense as to how well you've answered the questions yourself but a teacher would be far more beneficial.
If you can do some more and get an idea of the types of questions they tend to ask, and get to a point where you can quickly identify all of the components they want you to discuss / knowledge they want you to draw on for most questions you will be well prepared.

Well that's the problem I wouldve done that if it was during school but we can't coz schools finished and our teachers ditched overseas. I think I shud be ok but I really wanna band 6 which i gotta work a tad hard for. Just wanna know if im answering the questions correctly or not...

Ah damn that sucks, well is there any chance you could discuss them with friends/other people in the course maybe?
IPT is simple enough though, while it would be better to talk to someone about it and gauge how well you're answering the questions, you should be able to secure a band 6 by knowing the content well.
