Going over the past papers is the most important i think, and knowing the content of your science txtbook. Doing past papers helps you recognise types of questions.

There is also lists of doing words asked in questions you can download

eg. Explain, evaluate, define, etc

and if your really stressed out! you can go to the stops and buy those excel SC revision books

hey buddy, save your energy for the hsc, SC means nothing if you plan on doing the HSC...

I would recommend you to do no more than 2-3 papers for each subject, because this results mean nothing after the hsc..

so think twice if you want to save energy...


start thinking about the hsc, that is make a plan on what you want to do, how you going to do it..

play your cards =]

oh and i forgot to mention

do all the past SC papers. If you get above 80% you'll be fine. but for maths, you should be above 90%

Just look through the other posts on school certificate - heaps of people have downloaded their past notes

but seriously... it really is up to you and how much you want this.
Having the notes doesnt matter its dedicating your time and memorising and understanding them thats important...

Yeah really, don't overwork yourself...

English is quite easy, it's just reading comprehension and longer writing responses. Just do some of the comprehension questions and you should be fine.

Maths - basic knowledge, really.

History & Geography - study some facts and briefly best way to structure answer.

Science - again, some facts and whatnot will do, most of it is quite easy.

I can honestly say I hardly studied for SC, and managed to get all band 6s. It's nothing you should lose sleep over.

Does attempting multiple choice things on the Board of Studies website count as studying? If so, whoops...

"attempting online multiple choice" is like saying "attempting past papers"
and past papers is a form of studying
