Turning up to all exams & assessments helps alot!
Don't forget your pens, if you don't have pens - you can't write your answer!

Mostly they do emphasis the simple stuff.

For example, pay strong attention to the question (explain, analyse etc) and make sure you answer it the right way.

And in multiple choice answers, usually it will be your first instinct (if you read the question right). Don't read too much into the question (especially applies to subjects like economics and business studies where the students knowledge may exceed the frame the examiner has in mind for the question).

Do the exam without a pen/pencil then.

My teacher said: "If you passed CSSA MX1 paper, that's a good start for accelerants." and "Trials are harder than HSC papers".

He also said "Don't waste all your time on one question. Move on to the next questions." and "Study half a minute [meant to say hour] every day (at least)" and "You must spend 1.5 minutes for every mark in the Mathematics paper."

That's basically same for all other questions.

For "Show" questions, you always have to prove from left hand side to right hand side.
