would we have to wait ages to get through? itd have to be pretty busy.
Call in early, like as soon as it opens - not 2 days before your exam lol, I heard thats when it will be packed. When it gets really busy apparently they limit you to 5 minutes per call as well

if they are teachers, does that mean they can actually give you answers? or do they give you roundabout ways of finding answers yourself? I do not mean to sound lazy, I am just talking about those things that you can't find or understand, can they give you definite answers, or concrete ones at least?

lol, i was gonna call up and see if they had any modern teachers who knew anything about the UN. Sorta didnt get around to doing it though, but would have been quite funny - seriosuyl, theres not a single book available on this topic, and its in the sylabus as an option for MH lol :p

how long is each phone call for? is there a limit on how much you could ask?
If you get in early I don't think theres a time limit. Our principal said that he talked to a student every day for 3 hours leading up to the HSC
