I received a 99+ ATAR and a perfect GPA - ask me anything.

I think working through content through the summer break is fine if you want to do it. I also don't think it's necessary in order to do well in Year 12.
No matter which way you go, though, I think balance is important. As I mentioned above, I was actually travelling for a lot of the summer break, and didn't do heaps in terms of VCE preparation aside from assigned homework from my teachers. I certainly wasn't several chapters ahead or anything like that.
Does that mean you should do the same? No, not necessarily. Are you thinking of getting ahead over that break?
Re: subjects, I'll list them below with very approximate raw and scaled scores. This is just from memory, so may not be completely accurate (I might even be contradicting myself from earlier in the thread).
> Business Management (in Year 11): 48 > 47.5
> English Language: 44 > 45.5
> Further Maths: 45 > 44
> Health and Human Development: 50 > 50
> Psychology: 48 > 47.5
> Visual Communication Design: 44 > 42.5
So, only English Language (slightly) scaled up, but I don't really see that as in my favour or otherwise. Scaling is what it is, and it's designed to make the system fairer. I certainly didn't feel that way through Year 11 and Year 12 ("my subjects scale down, this is so unjust!"), but definitely believe that to be true now. :)

Thanks for the reply, yeah I hope to briefly work through the content so that when im in class im focused on asking questions, getting a deeper understanding and filling knowledge gaps

What did you personally do in the summer holidays to prepare for Year 12? Is there anything you would have done differentely?
How did you study for HHD? Spaced repetition, key knowledge, avoid waffling and etc.

Big question! I have no idea - what are your thoughts?

I have no idea as well. That's why I am asking you, the 99+ ATAR and perfect GPA student, to enlighten me.
