00:00My best study tip would be anything to do with active recall, so either writing on a whiteboard, speaking to yourself, speaking to a dogger or a stuffed toy.
00:08Anything that tests your knowledge is what's going to help you in the exam because you won't have any resources other than your pen and paper.
00:15One big HSC study tip for me is when I have those days when I really don't want to study, I kind of romanticise studying.
00:22So I'll set up a candle, I'll dim the lights, I'll get myself all nice and cosy and I make my notes in pretty pen and it kind of encourages yourself to want to keep going because it's aesthetically pleasing.
00:34And that's my best.
00:35My best study tip overall would just be to get started. It's a very difficult study to exam that you just don't want to do sometimes.
00:41And so if you just sit down for five minutes and just start studying, just do essays, start your paper, do a couple of questions, you'll make it all easier for yourself.
00:50My best study tip, especially regarding English, would be making an acronym for all of your quotes.
00:56So the first letter of each quote makes up a word.
00:59I know that definitely helped me remember most of my quotes because they do put a big emphasis on how many you really need to know with all the text.
01:08I think it was 40 in total, so that really helped me.
