Don't do last-minute assignments like I did. Bad, bad, bad
This is the year to abuse your teachers, make sure you ask questions when you need clarity or are unsure.
For economics, I suggest to revise over concepts and always be up-to-date with the latest stats. Especially, when exams come around, spend a few moments to look at important stats or trends (eg interest went up down, GFC, etc). Stats + trends are important. With calculations questions, make sure you understand the processes behind them as markers like to throw people off with unnecessary data. Best way to cram for economics would be to do as many short answers as possible (credits to Leading Edge) and know the structure for what makes a great essay.
Mathematics: Homework, homework, homework. Generally, maths homework will dominate majority of the time. Do it! Don't let it pile up on you. Past papers are the best for exams! If you run out of time (procrastination and being lazy), chapter summaries questions are the way to go. For 2U you can get a band 4/5 from simply doing 'monkey see, monkey do' ie know your processes well. Avoid silly mistakes in process questions.
English: Avoid Sparknotes or whatever it is. All you need is the prescibed text and your brain. Read the actually novels at least once (attempt to at least)! I'm not sure if it's still belonging next year, but keep your eyes out for potential related texts for your modules.
