    How to remember everything in Maths and score full marks?

    Practise answering past exam questions without looking at notes to remember the specific formulas used. Repeat the question again or do a different question using the same method to memorise the formula. Then do full practice exam papers to practice your exam time management. :headbang:

    Should I drop English advanced ?

    Dropping from English Advanced to Standard English is a very bad idea because of the poor scaling. :spzz:

    Post-grad students, how many units did you do and would you have changed anything?

    Re: Post-grad students, how many units did you do and would you have changed anything I did 12 units for the HSC last year. I regret not dropping English Advanced. Luckily my marks in English Extension 1 helped to partially offset my poor results in English Advanced. :wavey:

    Your Opinion On "Back Up" Units
