I'm honestly worried about the new syllabus and how we're going to deal with it. A lot of the resources on this and website are going to become dated or, at the very least, not as relevant as they were before.
Most worrying to me is the lack of past papers because previous students have told me how important they were.
What resources would you recommend, particularly for prelim English and Chemistry?
Hey spicspec!!
Rest assured that the ATAR Notes team has been busy preparing for the new syllabi since we got the first glimpses at it. Fortunately in some cases, even where the syllabus has changed, it sometimes resembles the current one. So it's not like every tutor and teacher is going in blind, thankfully! Of course, you might study some subjects that don't have a syllabus change, so everything here will be as handy as ever.
As for past papers...I was the first year group to study Discovery for Area of Study. Yes, the questions from previous years could be used as a "guide" about what to expect even though they focused on a different area of study. But, teachers across the state worked hard to create practice discovery papers and they began popping up online pretty frequently throughout the year.
And of course, also remember that everyone is in the same boat!
