Talent 100 is good for a variety of subjects! They have some really nice notes and materials too. Which subjects did you want to do?

Personally, I reckon it's a bit risky to start off on 10. You might find one of your subjects is massively dragging you down, and it's way easier to just drop one than try and swap it out if you're only doing 10.

Hey! What ideas do you have in mind already? I'd 100% recommend attending the seminar and Q&A session by Roland Tam for HSC Economics. Even though you're doing prelim now, he can definitely give you some guidance during the Q&A. He's the managing director at Talent 100 and is really really...
