Don't think this is the right thread to ask that in haha

Keep working hard - particularly on English, that drags a lot of people down. Draft and redraft. Year 11 is not a definitive year at all, you can change everything around with consistency and hard work. I know you didn't ask for any advice, but as others have pointed out, the truth of the matter...

Aye, thanks for your advice so long ago! Worked out well for me haha

Hey there! Nice video, just thought I'd let you know that from the PoV of somebody who is not used to your handwriting, it is quite difficult for me to differentiate your K's and x's on the board through the camera (would definitely be more obvious if I was sitting in a classroom). So yeah...

Well to be fair I don't use an acronymed PEEL or SEXC or any other structure, or at least I don't think about it that way. Do what works best for your text type and your content. The only general rule of thumb is to make sure you don't just assert a good point, but to ensure that you have...

Don't go into substantive, but honestly my intro was 150 words, which I think is a pretty decent length. Go for 4 sentences, somewhere between 100-150 words. Most English teachers have different preferences on how to write and structure, even across the board. I'd give you the structures I've...

Yep, I think a large amount of people share your problem. I did as well during school. Doing revision the night before or the morning of is a very bad habit and something I worked hard to resolve. As I mentioned earlier, getting your notes done incrementally really helps with this, as it gets...

I don't think its particularly necessary in the Year 10/11 summer holidays to do anything in particular, except read over your texts and start thinking about some big picture, themes and ideas. Individual analysis can wait until you've started the school term. I currently tutor English, Maths...

For preparing for exams, it honestly needs to be incremental. I found it a lot less stressful preparing for my modern history trials for example, as out of the 4 topics, I had written notes on the first 2 a long time ago, adding new pieces of information on every afternoon after a history...

Yeah, no worries! I found that at times I was also a bit convoluted and over complicated my essays, which you mentioned that you struggle with. This is quite natural when you're still developing your own ideas, and really the only way to improve is just to redraft. With every subsequent draft...

For your English Resources you should probably specify which texts you studied, since there are quite a number and different schools study different texts for each module. My school let us PICK what texts we were going to study through a survey at the end of year 11. Which I thought was quite cool.

Oh wow, yeah I have heard some strange things about NGO and sons but didn't expect it to be that bad. I know all your english tutors say you still have time, and I'm not going to echo them. Treat Year 11 as a year of learning, developing habits, and improving your english skills overall. In...

That will depend on your school. For Modern History, both Year 11 and 12 consist of several electives. Within my own school, we had different CLASSES studying different topics. So there is no way of anybody knowing what you will be studying in Year 11, and while I admire your dedication, I don't...

Dr Du Education has high quality tutoring in Maths and Sciences, would highly recommend it. Comes with a wealth of resources. Has produced many many state rankers this year.

@Cherrybomb56 @i.used.to.be.happy Hey, I haven't checked the thread lately as I've been quite busy. I read bits and bobs of your discussion earlier. With regards to English tutoring, I would recommend finding a private tutor as opposed to a generic tutoring company such as Ngo and Sons. I say...
