HSC Economics Update – 24th Feb

Feb 24, 2014

This weekend Sydney hosted finance ministers and central bankers from across the globe as part of hosting the G20 meeting. Pretty big event for Sydney to host but I haven’t seen much press coverage of it other than quoting a predictable statements from Joe Hockey(Australian Treasurer). The outlook

What a week 🔥

That’s a wrap on the April Study Bootcamp!

Focused. Productive. Energising.

Our Bootcamp students showed up every day ready to train and push themselves .. and it showed.

Real progress isn’t built in a single session. It’s built through consistency, accountability, and being surrounded by the right people.

Proud of every student who committed to the process this week. This is how momentum is created. 🚀

We asked our coaches for their #1 tip to Year 12 students going into Term 2 (term 3 of your HSC year). Here’s what they said 👇

Zara (English): Stop memorising essays.
Alex (Maths): Do past papers with no notes first.
Jack (Economics): Teach a topic. Stumbling = your next study target.
Ella (All Rounder): Know your syllabus inside out.

Which tip will you implement first?

3 mistakes most HSC students make in Term 2…

And yes, you’re probably doing at least one of them.

1. Spending most of your time on subjects you’re already good at. Feels great. Does nothing for improving your end results. Your weakest subject has the most room to move and that’s where the immediate gains are.

2. Saving past papers for the week before trials. Past papers aren’t revision. They’re practice that identify strengths and weaknesses. Do them early enough that you can actually act on what they tell you.

3. Studying more hours but without intention. Re-reading notes. Highlighting. Rewriting summaries for the 4th time. Your brain is comfortable but it is not pushing you into the next level. Active recall and practice questions are uncomfortable for a reason. Get them done every day, not just in the lead up to the assessment.

Term 2 is where the biggest progress can be made. Small adjustments now = big results in October.

After working with hundreds of HSC students, we can tell you that the highest achievers are simply following a formula. A simple formula which anyone can follow...

They’re not necessarily studying 10 hours a day or sacrificing their entire social lives. What sets them apart is a mix of habits, mindsets, and strategies that most students either don’t know about or know about but don’t consistently apply. Here’s what we’ve observed and how you can apply it.
