(1) Anyone have a full list of skills that you need for the Geography HSC exam?
(2) What skills come up most in the HSC exam?
(3) Anyone know the name of a really good skills book?

1. Look in the syllabus--it actually specifies what skills u need to know

2. Do some past papers and itll become quite clear but general ones include: gradient, bearing, direction of a water system (eg. river etc.), what time of day it is (u need to look for the shadows etc.), local relief, verticle exxageration, ternary graphs (the 3 way ones)

3. Skills in Australian Geography by Grant Kleeman and Andrew Peters ---it has details on pretty much every skill u need to know and questions on example maps....but srsly past papers are the best practise ..eveen for skills

especially last years cause they put in skills that haven't been done in a while. Cambridge Geo Skills is good and Excel is actually pretty good for explaining skills
