It's not too late, you still have over a week to prepare!

You should fully read over your notes and practice writing english, business, modern and ancient essays.

Also, try to do two past papers for each subject.

lol, you have a week to prepare, if you need band 6 notes for any of your subjects or advice, study tips, how to manage your time in the exam, how and where to study. Let me know I can arrange every possible for you to get band 6.

I am willing to help you, if you need notes. let me know.

Never be shy or feel dishearten because your teachers purposely trying to scare the students to study hard for the HSC. So your trials may be very hard. All you can do, is pray to god and study your assoff and Trust if your Trial are next week. I am telling you now, that forget going to school for the next week, so you can wake up early to study very hard, till you can't pick up a pen because otherwise you will not get above a 80. Trust do this, becasue this is the only option if your Trials are next week.

the only time its too late is after the hsc exam, until then there is every chance that you can get 90+.

practice writing, and as above said. doo past papers under exam conditions. this will help you with time managment and seeing the types of questions you can get.

With a small amount of time, you need to maximise what you can do in that little amount of time.

1) No time to write your own notes, refer to ones on the resource section.
2) Practice as many exam qs as possible.
3) Look at the theory behind any 'weak' areas as will show up by your practice.

Cramming is not preferable, but you can do it to good results if you are focused and don't let the stress get to you.

It is never too late to start, one week is more than enough.

That might not be the best advice..... You might not meet the compulsory hours for the subjects. How are you even going to explain to the school, in relation to the long 'absence'?

Furthermore that would be unfair on the others, who are going to school.

Never too late! I had a brother who did very well in the HSC despite not getting his act together until a month before trials!
