dont know about legal, but all you need to do for bio is some light reading. dont try learning difficult content over the holidays, because it doesnt pay (trust me, i know). i tried doing a whole heap of work over the holidays (i almost completed unit 3 on my own) and realised once i got to school that i had learnt a lot of things incorrectly (as in, i learned the content in such a way that it was no longer scientifically accurate, if that makes sense). Just flick through the first 2-3 chaps of your textbook. attempt some of the easy questions, and thats about all you should do.

i do recommend that you start reading, but dont overdo it. you'll just get really stressed. and if you do want to start actively learning now, you should get your hands on a good tutor, so as to avoid the pickle i was caught in 11 months ago

i havent really done much to be honest, ive been trying to catch up on legal since i haven't done 1/2, but i don't really know if that's necessary :O.
Also for bio, is it necessary to get a tutor? I'm going to the tsfx headstart lectures, but I don't really know how much of a help they'll be... :/

tsfx is amazing! thats all youll need tbh. i didnt get the headstart program, but i did do the 12 week intensive master classes, and i honestly give them the credit for my study score. theyre ace. if you honestly study their notes with complete attention, and know them inside out, youre almost guaranteed an A+ on the exam. no joke

[AbominableMowman]

Nice, i was hoping they were good... .. Also, I see your study score for bio is really good.... did you get all high A+ for your SACs :O... I want 45+ tooo but i dont know if I'll get it

you dont need A+s on all your sacs. your sac results dont matter, its your ranking that makes a difference. but because your interested, here are my sac results.
U3: 92%,88%,96%,92% ~ avg 92%
U4: 96%, 100%, 92%, 100% ~ avg 97%

Your sac results are moderated (readjusted) to the corresponding exam result. for example, if you are rank 2, but you get the highest exam result, your sac results becomes the 2nd highest exam score. and you keep your exam results. does that make sense?

Any 2014ers doing psych next year?  Or 2013rs doing it in Year 12?

Yeah, I understand the ranking system, I was just curious as to what your SAC scores were..

Thanks! How did you find the combination? Was managing the two subjects alright? How did you divide the time between the two?

Nah, I don't think a tutor's really needed for Bio, unless you're struggling with the content
