Generally, if I want an ATAR of 98 and above, how much do I need to study?
How much do people normally study for the HSC? What do you guys think is too much or too less?

Also post this in the preliminary HSC forum since your HSC is in 2017

What's study ?

I'm one of those people that cram at the last minute.

I play dota and pretty much bludge like everyday until 4 days before the exam.
