No, not really. I don't see the point.

You may give yourself a false sense of confidence after covering a subject before learning it from a teacher qualified to teach. This can be quite dangerous.

Just go at the same pace as everyone else.

You'd forget everything anyways. Plus some concepts need prelim work to be understood first

It's too early to start the HSC stuff for any gain atm. You need to be towards the end of prelim to start looking ahead at the HSC.

I see no harm in having some advanced 'peek' provided you are keeping up with all your Prelim work. If you can self-study and can understand the HSC stuff yourself, I don't see why not. That's how some people gain a lead. That's what I would have done.

I agree with Drongoski. If you can keep up with it, there's no harm in starting early.

Only if you are solid with Preliminary content. If you rush too much you will have gaps in your knowledge and its quite hard to catch up during the HSC.

If you have time to learn the hsc now, you're not working hard enough in prelims :)

One of my students is studying HSC and Prelim at the same time (nearly finished the Year 12 3U course).

Indeed, no harm if you can keep up with it.
