    Best option module to do ?

    Quanta to Quarks is somewhat interesting. Because it's a HSC module, it's obviously very limited in scope and the syllabus oversimplifies many concepts (Quantum mechanics isn't exactly "simple").

    So is mining. But both of those streams have tough working conditions. Doing it just for the money is not a good decision.

    Calling all high achievers.

    This doesn't work for Maths (and probably not English). It does work well for other subjects, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else.

    Calling all high achievers.

    I did alright at Maths. HSC Marks are in my sig. This. HSC Physics is uninteresting and unchallenging. Questions do change each year, but they're always fairly generic. Just change your topic sentences for each paragraph to address the question and refer to the keywords of the question...

    Calling all high achievers.

    Calling all high achievers.

    Cramming is quite effective for word based subjects such as Physics, Chemistry and Economics. Those type of subjects don't require very much thinking.
