    how to get a headstart in my classes

    I would just read ahead using the syllabus to structure this. For maths make sure you are good at all of year 11 content and just do heaps of practice problems to keep your brain working in this way

    Should I repeat the Prelims? I just finished my first term of the HSC course :(

    Extra books for HSC study

    Cambridge maths is superior, it combines concepts in one auestion and really extends your knowledge and challenges you through harder application questions (recommend for 3 and 4u students). I like the atar notes books as well, particularly chemistry (assuming bio is similar)

    How hard is it to get an ATAR of 80 or above?

    If you put the effort in throughout the year and work consistently, 80+ is quote achieveable, especially since you have relatively high scaling subjects

    I would pre learn the first topic for each of your content subjects using the syllabus as a structure. This means that you know what your good/bad at in class and can ask better questions to grow a deeper understanding

    Subject Selection Advice

    The main things to ask yourself are what are you best at and what do you enjoy the most. However, its equal for every subject then you can take into account other factors such as teacher, class, post school, etc. However I'd recommend focusing on what your best at and enjoy the most first...

    Really confused here...

    Create concept notes with multiple points so you have options. Then practice molding your arguments to fit various essay questions. It can also be more efficient to dot point out answers or just write intros to practice arguing a range of questions. I'd also recommend doing one or two timed...
