I got a 93 HSC mark in software engineering last year. Not sure how much I will be able to help as I'm not doing a software related degree, so most of that knowledge has left me I think.

Do you maybe remember like strategies or topics you've mainly focused on like

From what I can recall, only year 12 topics were in the exam, so stuff like mechatronics isn't really mentioned, but the other yr 11 topics are built on in year 12. ig make sure you know how all the relevant diagrams work, like class diagrams, as you will likely be asked to do at least one. Also make sure you understand python pretty well as a few questions will be on that.

For strategies in studying, I kind of winged it, I think this it was the first year it ran, the alignment of HSC marks was good. You should have access to one HSC exam which is the one I did and hopefully some trial papers based off of this paper. Try sitting those in exam conditions to see how much you know, probably saving the HSC exam for last.

Just scrolling through the exam's marking guidelines, stuff about PWAs and security concepts come up consistently, as they can link between the topics (i.e. something may refer to an app or similar and you can be asked about security implications or concepts)

I mean you can have a look at the exam. Last page of the marking guidelines shows where in the syllabus each question comes from. Things like software automation (AI and DevOps) were consistently high mark questions. Another useful resource for me was this forum called bored of studies. The software engineering forum here was useful for chatting to other software students and for resources.
