--------
Catch Up With Top Achievers: 2020 HSC and Beyond is a collection of articles written by the best performing HSC students in the State - HSC State Rankers. In our study guide, each author outlines their unique and results-driven study strategies. They also provide specific advice towards succeeding in their area of expertise. The practical study methods presented in this book are by no means conventional. Instead, they reflect the reality of what it is to be a student in 2020, and how to best succeed in the HSC whilst still maintaining a sense of balance.
In it, we answer many key questions faced by students and parents, such as:

WHAT were their strategies for success?
HOW did they cope with the stress?
WHY did they work so hard?

Everything in this book is up to date with the NEW NESA HSC Syllabus. We have also added a Subject Cheat Sheet at the end of each chapter.
Many of these students were not top achievers before Year 12, and do not represent an unattainable level of work ethic or intelligence.

    Great book on top performers

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Debo - Verified reviewer from Booktopia

    Overall, I really liked the book, underlined the various strategies on what the top performers did to master each subject and will use the same when helping my daughter with her school lessons.
    Please find a summary of the pros and cons (which is solely my opinion only)

    Pros for this book
    + Great content
    + In depth discussion for each subject
    + Lots of practical tips to masters of these subjects
    + Must read for any HSC aspirant, but also good for students in their senior school areas
    + Great editing done by the young authors

    Cons for this book
    - None
    - However, I would recommend a cheat-sheet for each subject could be glanced in one go for easy revision

    Very helpful for high school students
