This textbook gives a summary of each topic and is a great study resource. I have an e-book version available to all students and parents interested. Leave your address on the sheet provided at the end of the session, and I will send you through a copy! Students have a hard copy of this text, and are able to keep it until after their HSC exam.

 Daily and weekly revision:  Each day when you get home, read over your notes from class – highlight or underline key terms, dates etc.  At the end of each week, read over your class work from the week. If unsure of a concept or term, see me the following week!  The more times you read or hear something, the more likely you are to remember it!!!!  HSC exams are just as much about memory recall as they are about ability and knowledge. Forming consistent study habits will ensure improved results.

 Visual: As stated earlier, go back over notes and use a highlighter for key terms and concepts.  Auditory: Record yourself as you read over your notes. Play it back and listen to yourself.  Tactile: Make flashcards by putting key themes on one side and the entire paragraph explanation on the other side. I will be providing the students with flashcards prior to the exams.

 WRITE, WRITE, WRITE…. then write some more! › YouTube clip of Modern History student:  oOko oOko  Lastly, the HSC Modern History exam is an exam made up of 2 essays and 2 extended responses ---- you need to become VERY familiar with writing!

A fantastic site! Answers all of your questions and concerns as a parent.
