To me, feels like a load of shit, a marketing gimic. There are free workshops that are happening around the same time, just go to those if you really want more experience.

a few months ago i went to a free session of Mastering the HSC and the tips they gave on studying and how to learn new materials was invaluable. they went so far as to explain the psychology of our brain and how it works in terms of processing and storing information. seriously, it was some engaging stuff. i hope the summer school lectures are just as good, if not, better.

They are very expensive, but apparently rather good. The ones held now are a total waste so don't bother going; but the ones offered near or after the trials are rather good for HSC preparation as you would have finished most, if not all of your courses that you attend the TSFX lectures for.
I was planning to go, but, once again reinforcing the price of them, I could afford them.

I'm going to the chemistry and MX2 ones. Don't know whether it is worth it, but may as well give it a go. Like dad says - they didn't pay for me to go to private school, so this is quite cheap in comparison. Plus, it means I get to come to Sydney to do some shopping

I finished in 2010, and i had heard about these lectures.
i did go to:
english - as you like it
english - bladerunner/frankenstein
legal - workplace
mastering the exams
i believe that the notes are worth the money alone, even if you dont pay attention in the lectures go for the notes (or get them off your friend)
my friend went to the other legal lecture for our other elective, and we both got the notes for crime and law and society off a girl in the year above us. they were actually amazing
as for the english ones, i think they were helpful.. not as helpful as legal but good. as you like it was terrible as there were a lot of standard kids in the lecture who didnt even know what the text was about (i went to the ones just before the trials..)
mastering the exams i didnt find that useful, but as it was free it was helpful..
i heard that their maths ones arent very good, but i dont know from experience
the alpha omega education FREE maths ones were so good (i went in the summer holidays last year) and i ended up enrolling i was so amazed.
yerr thats just my experience :\
at the end of the day.. you cant really put a price on your education and its still way chepaer than private school education?

Guys, you don't need fancy 'lectures' and 'conferences' to do well - keep it simple, get a mentor and work towards small goals taking little steps at a time =].
