"You don't need to start taking things seriously until you are in Year 12." We think differently. Catch Up with Top-Achievers: 2019 HSC edition is a new type of study guide designed for high school students, teachers and parents. Catch Up with Top-Achievers: 2019 HSC edition is composed of a series of articles written by past HSC Top-Achievers. They explain their unique approach to their studies with the aim to enlighten and set students on the right path to be better. Unlike many other study guides, which aim to teach the contents of the syllabuses of each subject, the aim of Catch Up with Top-Achievers:2019 HSC edition is to educate students on the processes of studying/learning. Instead of teaching students the contents (specific syllabus points) of a specific subject, the Top-Achievers will explain their general approaches to studying different subjects as well as interpersonal skills. The aim of this book is to encourage the readers to choose and experiment different study strategies and eventually create their own way of studying and reach their maximum potential when performing in the HSC. Each Top-Achiever will: 1. Share key strategies to achieving great HSC results 2. Debunk common myths when it comes to studying 3. Provide you with personal study skills tips (i.e. Time Management) 4. Guide you to answer common exam questions Most importantly, you will learn from those Top-Achievers directly.
