    Multiple state ranks?!? Asking the class of 2020

    Yeah I would assume that a ridiculous amount of tutoring comes into it. I don't see how you could get a state rank except in maybe English or a foreign language subject without loads of tutoring.

    year 10 to 11 holidays, what needs to be studied to prepare for year 11 2U ?

    Make sure your algebra skills are up to scratch because algebra underpins almost everything you do in prelim/hsc advanced. Sooooo many students have a really good grasp of concepts and know all the fancy formulas but still lose a lot of marks because they make silly errors in their algebra.

    A 95+ in Economics

    If you do effective, targeted study its surprisingly easy to do very well in eco. This because eco content is not like modern or bio where you have to know reams of facts - its basically about understanding key concepts and applying them. Sure, you have to memorise some stats for essays but...

    Modern vs Economics

    Especially at band 6 level the scaling difference is negligible. In terms of workload modern is more about memorising loads of stats and regurgitating them in a rigid, structured essay with lots of 'sophisticated' vocabulary. Eco is more about understanding concepts and applying them, also the...

    Complete Cold War Notes

    Attached are my full Cold War notes. They're not nearly as well set out as my other notes, and when I backed them up on my pc the font changed and my headings now look no different to the rest of the text. Lots of stats and historians but unfortunately you might have to hunt around a bit to find...

    Good laptops for Uni??

    I've got an asus zenbook, cost about $1000. It is more than sufficient for school/uni work - its got like 16 gb of ram or something. I've heard Lenovo Thinkpads are quite good as well.

    preparation for year 11

    yeah definitely, at my school at least yr 11was the best year for co-curriculars, make sure you get involved in them as much as you can. It's more important that you develop broader understandings of things through stuff like robotics and debating clubs as opposed to just studying in year 11...

    Essay plans

    Lots of stats for a range of essay topics. Don't know whether these 2020 predictions will still be terribly useful for the 2021 HSC, but there are about a dozen essays in this doc so hopefully some of them should come up.

    preparation for year 11

    For English it pays to read at least some of you prescribed texts in the summer holidays. For most other essay subjects (eco, legal etc) the content is reasonably straightforward and you should be able to learn the prelim content fine at school. The differentiator for these subjects is...

    Microeconomic Policy Essay

    Lots of stats (some of which may require updating, although most should still be relevant because not much new micro stuff happens), diagrams and dissemination of theory. I got an HSC mark of 95 for Economics and this was the essay I based all my micro stuff off of.

    Complete Cultural Revolution to Tiananmen Square Notes

    My complete China notes - I got an hsc mark of 95 with them. Plenty of historical detail and the odd historian quote (you don't really need them for this section), and a decent amount of stuff for the survey (they can actually ask you 3-5 mark questions on the survey in this section).
