About:
You know the adage: sequels are always better than the originals. If you loved Toy Story 2, The Godfather Part II, and Terminator 2, you’ll love HSC Paper 2. (Ok, maybe not, but thank God it isn’t a trilogy!)
Each section of Paper 2 is different, so if you think you can memorise an essay and succeed, you’re kidding yourself. What you need is methodical preparation and critical marking. That’s what you’ll get in this course as we cover study skills, exam preparation, and practice papers.
