It depends on the person, but for most people it's not going to be curve sketching or integration.

By all means, make sure you've covered all the syllabus dot points, but in answer to the original question... ...I didn't find summarising using the syllabus (as the primary source) either easy or effective compared to summarising using a textbook.

The syllabus is quite badly structured for some areas such as economic management. It can be used as a guide but I'd definately advise against using it as the structure for a summary. While the exam is supposed to be written according to the syllabus, 40 marks of it are allocated to essays where...

I found it really straightforward. Probably the easiest out of all my subjects.

Summarising by the syllabus can sometimes be quite tedius (it requires some thinking1! :) ) The alternative is to just summarise a good textbook. I'd recommend the Bulmer and/or the Dixon. Listen to some music while you're typing up boring eco notes aswell, it's quite relaxing. Remember that...

physics for me was atrociously difficult. It's not really a social science like history or economics :p

If you're a humanities person then go for it. Drop physics (I know i did) and pick up Modern (very interesting, though average scaling subject).

It will be of benefit BUT an 88 in 4u is still worth more than something like, say, a 93 in modern history.

Repeat if you're looking for higher marks. If you can get those excellent marks in Y11 you will almost definately kill it the second time around. Having said that though, my 10 units were: 4u maths: 88 3u maths: 96 adv english: 95 economics: 96 modern history: 93 uai: 99.75 So your maths...

I wouldn't get too put off by the English skill requirement though. One's language capability can vary immensely throughout short periods of time. For example, a year ago, I was good at English. Now I just feel like a clueless fob. :o

Definately any game from the Championship Manager/Football Manager series.

Top game. Definately worth downloading *ahem* I mean buying :D

You never did 4u maths right? ;) About 2 people scored 100% in the last 15 years. (correct me if I'm wrong)

You don't actually need to be motivated to do well in the HSC.

Lol this guy is hilarious... I <3 the smiley :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

*bump* This question has been bothering me aswell... Can anyone confirm whether or not a double major in comm law is possible under the current credit system?

I have a feeling the uai is real... don't know why.

The example I've given was only meant to address your statement in regard to the formula of success (the "super-essay"), not the general topic of the thread. But what I've said before holds true - if they were smart they would have "played the game".

That would actually be a good way to go in theory. However, you will find that like anything else in life, those who excel tend to have some genuine interest in the subject matter. That means they will tend to do extra readings, outside research etc. Of course, some subjects (such as English)...

Contrary to popular belief, very few "top" students actually do this.
