Hey,
I know how you feel, i have an exam on the morning of the S&C exam so double the stress ::)
I recommend going through the syllabus and if you come across any dot point your not really sure of, or if it came in the exam and you would be stuck, then write out some brief notes about the dot point just so you're prepared. Past papers are good as well! But considering the syllabus changed, I think theres only one past paper which is relevant to the updated syllabus. I do Inclusion and Exclusion, and that topic was not on the previous syllabus so i only have one question to practise, but if you're doing other topics, I'm pretty sure previous questions would still work. Good Luck!

Thank you! Yes i have business just before society and its so difficult to stay focused on both! Also, I'm really bad at MCQs for short answers, i have practiced the past hsc ones but i need more questions. Does anyone know where i can more practice MCQs for society from?

Hey! I've also had trouble with these because they're kind of similar? Anyway, my notes for them are this:
Transformative:
- A process whereby personal and social structures and systems work to create broad based change that completely alters existing structures within society.
- Must occur at multiple levels (combines shifts in values, behaviors and processes, strategies and practices)
Evolutionary:
- Process of structural change that creates a slow alteration in the institutions or social roles of a society that are then integrated into the society.
- Can occur as a result of internal issues (eg. Technological innovation) or ideological shifts
- Or external issues (eg. Environmental conditions, acculturation, cultural diffusion)
Hope this helps!

Ahhh yes i can relate! I do conformity and non conformity which isn't on any past papers. It literally means they can throw anything at us :(
