    HSC Exam Thoughts 2016. Drastically reduced participation?

    I dont want to sound like a bummer, but i feel like the students who care about education in each year 2015, 2016...etc is gradually decreasing and the general consensus about exams and exam thoughts depreciates alongside with it..

Otherwise take the humanities stream...

    Study timetable

    ^ i second this. i created 2 week cycles of 'to do tasks' such as homework/assignments and mainly past papers and stuck to it as best as i could. With the 2 week cycles, it gives you some room for give and take, in circumstances where something may pop up to disrupt your normal routine. Make...
