no way this is the hardest it's only q26...unless you mean purely common content bc series has some super creative qs to my knowledge

this for example is technically in the financial topic to my knowledge 'cause of series/sequences (2024 HSC)

this isn't really creative all they asked is for u to show that x/1-x = -1 - 1/x-1 algebraicly, which i could have done but i didn't think of that

I guess so, but I would say this is pretty interesting esp for an adv paper (ik they bore you lol), like it's linking two different concepts/topics which to me is considered a creative q 'cause it's no longer rote application

Memorising essays is a trap and I would not recommend it.

The current english HSC syllabus and paper writers do NOT like memorised essays for obvious reasons and there has been a lot of discussion on how to combat memorised essays in english from the markers, so very likely this years question will be pretty specific and hard to adapt a full essay to. Also, if your memorising an essay for hsc in 2025 and its obvious, the markers will be extremely harsh, and if you can do all the work of research and practice to memorise enough essays to be prepared for an exam and get away with it, your probably better off using that energy towards actually studying and practicing to get a better mark. Don't fall to the trap of "oh my tutor or sibling etc memorised their essay and got great marks" because unless they did the 2022 hsc or later, their memorised essay plan was before they started cracking down, and wouldn't work today.

That being said, there is some positive to memorising an essay, it actually can help, but only if you use it to build on your ideas and remember key quotes instead of just retelling an essay you top and tailed to the question.

but lowkey if that's kinda a good method cause if u know u can spend all that time u spend on eng on other subejcts and do really well then u can just bomb eng. Cause if u feel like u put a lot of effort into eng and aren't getting the results u may as well spend that time on other subjects to ensure u get a band 6 then spend all that time to get a mediocre mark. I would do this but too bad I suck at most of my other subjects as well so I can't.

I'd assume when HSC finishes.

It looks so chill icl. Obviously there is some tricky questions, but overall it seems that it gives ppl who are part of the exodus from Advanced a sense of a weight off their shoulders and allows them to spend more time on other subjects.
