1. Not that much actually. Prelim bio is common sense.
2. NSW Biology imo. It has heaps of info.
3. One that you make yourself.

1. Not in the technical sense, but it helps build your foundations.
2. Heinemann and Biology in Context.
3. Your own, OR, Ahmad Shah Idil's notes on the Resource page.

Yeh i just wanna have some fundamental knowledge of bio before i start my course at Usyd

Is it possible to study the whole bio HSC course in like 2 weeks (2 hours per day) to a level enough to obtain at least a band 6 in the HSC?

Oh hmm lol, I don't think so, no. You would definitely need more than 2 hours a day if you're going to do that haha.

What course are you planning to do at uni?

If you're going to self-learn, it depends on how fast you can research and answer the dot points on the syllabus, and whether or not you're going to learn Prelims bio. I don't know how long this will take for you, sorry.

No problem, grats for getting into Combined Medicine btw.

EDIT: If you're going to study the stuff only relevant to Med, you might want to skip the content about plants.
