Hiii

This is generally for people who have done SE for their HSC's. Right now, I'm doing it as an accel. subject and I basically have HSC early. Since nobody has really told me what its like (including my teacher - he's terrible he just uses chatgpt for everything) and its not very popular in my school, does anybody have any tips on how I can do good and if I should really lockin?

My aim is to get 90+ in the subject and my school is one of the top 10 selective's so it is quite competitive. If anyone has any tips on what I should really focus on/if I need tutoring for it lmk pls!!

Also my current average for the whole year 11 was 81% so I am hoping to get better by next year and would appreciate any advice because I struggled a bunch but still came out in low 80s so I hope that I can do better for the ACTUAL HSC.

thank you <3

Ayeee gotta love a teacher that uses AI for everything (Had one from yr9 to yr10 was really bad)

I have written my own textbook here. It has chapters and sections 1 to 1 from the syllabus dot points and MC Quizzes. There are a few things still to fix (Like the diagrams) however I'm looking to improve those asap) Hopefully that helps give you a clear idea of what is involved. The hardest part about the subject is actually learning to code. Everything else is just memorisation. So make your own notes and do flash cards. The exams usually consist of MC questions and short answer responses. You don't have any long written 9 markers (*cough physics) which is good.

For past papers, you can look at the old SDD course and I like to send AI the syllabus and have it give me questions.

Note: Ironically for my textbook, I also used AI because I have no time in Year 12. But I have been verifying information and I used actually good models (Sonnet 4.5). Feel free to send feedback if there are any issues or if things are way too confusing haha.

Also, 81% is amazing for an average! You should be happy that you got that. In the HSC, it does depend on what subjects you do... but still thats an A.
