it is imperative that you're familiar with the syllabuses for the subjects you're studying. if you don't know the syllabus: you don't know what you're studying.
all syllabuses are located on the board of studies website (board, not bored: a.k.a not this website).
Not such a stupid question as in the SC most schools\teachers may of only just started to introduce to students exactly what the syllabus was and how it is used.
And if you can't find the links click here for the HSC syllabus.
hey i am having the same problem, i go to the Board fo Studies website, and can only find the HSC syllabus, now i know there must be the prelim there somewhere, so if anyone would like to post the link it would be much appreciated
