    Studying Using Past Papers for Prelims and HSC

    Guys this post may come off as really stupid so forgive me, but how do you guys study using past papers if you haven't covered all the content in them yet? Do you nitpick specific questions - if so doesn't that defeat the purpose of doing it in timed conditions? Also how far back do you...

    Do You Need To Have A Certain Amount Of PRELIM Hours For A Course?

    My friends have been switching subjects late year 11 and I was wondering if the low hours in the courses will be an issue? I believe you don't need to do the prelim course to do the HSC course as NESA allows you to switch subjects until mid year 12?
