    Is anyone else too nervous to study?

    Congrats! I'd take it that it just means you have to complete the HSC. Though, let's not take our chances and study here and there at the very least. I hold the view that just like how different schools of different rankings can produce state rankers, different unis can still produce top...

    For the lols, you could format your notes in a way that is easy for text-to-speech to understand. Then, lay in bed whilst listening to your notes lmao.

    Economics vs Business studies

    Personally, I didn't do Business Studies during my HSC. However, one of my close friends did. From what I could tell, he enjoyed Economics A LOT more lol. Though, he did find Business Studies easier than Economics.

    Essay plan for monetary policy

    I'd approach it with this: Separate paragraphs by different impacts; Eg economic growth, inflation, unemployment, exchange rate, etc. In each paragraph, Talk about expansionary and give an example time period; Talk about contractionary and give an example time period. Remember to add graphs...

    Is a case study (country) essay optional?

    I'll just add the general advice I give to my students here as well. There's sort of a trade-off between learning more stuff (and gaining a only a few extra marks), and consolidating old stuff (and maximising marks). Since the case study would require more study time to learn it in depth as...

    study plan

    To be honest, whatever works for you. Personally, and probably not the most effective, I like intense blocks of focused study. However, the science does favour 'distributed practice' and 'interleaving', eg 1 hour of every subject per day. From experience, aside from the temptation to just...

    what the hell am i doing tw sad

    Hey, let's start with taking care of yourself first. The baseline is just showing up to our classes. Don't worry about the extra studying afterwards. We'll work on that later. 1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. The funny thing about humans is that we actually like routine. And...

    If the question is "Analyse the cause and impact of Unempolyment on the economy" Than do I talk about All causes first than all impacts?

    I think talking about all causes and then impacts vs cause 1/ impact 1 are both valid. I would probably lean more towards talking about all the causes first and then the impacts - It lets you really flesh out the causes and link them to recent events. It lets you really flesh out the impacts...

    Economics Advice for Studying

    A big part of Topic 4 is macroeconomic and microeconomic policy. The cheat here is to add specific policies to each Economic Issue in Topic 3. In effect, you would have studied both topics coherently.

    What's the best way to self-mark extended response questions?

    I like to think of essays as a game of brownie points. The more brownie points you collect throughout the essay, the higher the mark. The actual HSC past papers with answers should provide a list of things you could talk about ('suggested answers'). These make up the crux of your brownie points...
