Paper 1 is short answers based on source, a creative piece and an essay based on beloning
Paper 2 will be three essays each on your different topics...
Look at the past papers on the Board of Studies website to check it out :). It will be the same as past years, but with your new topics.

To study---> Do past questions, preparation essays, learn quotes, divide study notes up into the different areas you need to know about.
I would also put post-its through your novels etc so that you can get to pages more quickly, or at least starting noting down page references. HSC is all about minimizing the bullshit time in studying (aka spending ages finding that quote in your text, spending hours surfing the web gloomily for notes/study material you can't find, decorating your notes in ways that don't help you etc).

PM me for additional help :)
