    How much should I do in the holidays?

    HSC study notes

    I strongly recommend looking at marking criteria as you write or enhance notes only for dot points which you struggle with or its hard to decide how much content to put in your notes. This allows you to understand what constitutes as the "right and enough" information to include in your notes...
