Flashcards for NSW HSC English Standard, following the English Standard 11-12 Syllabus (2024) and the HSC prescriptions for 2027 to 2030. A deck of language forms and features comes first, then the Common Module, Module A, Module B and Module C. Every prescribed text has its own subdeck for quotations, characters, themes, structure and context. Delete the texts you don't study once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
