𝐇𝐒𝐂 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 || 𝟗𝟒 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐀𝐝𝐯 || 𝟗𝟑 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐭 𝟏 || 𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 Success in the HSC doesn't require natural talent, but you also can't count on pure repetition. To get the high marks, you need to have strong fundamentals and exposure to all the possible question types that can be thrown at you. Everyone has access to HSC past papers (dating back to 1967) along with hundreds of Trial papers — yet the average mark in Maths Adv is only 60%. So pure repetition clearly doesn't work. You need quality weekly practice going over a diverse range of questions (your Cambridge textbook isn't enough!).
