How are your assessments going? Were they harder or easier than expected? Personally, I found basically all my subjects straight forward as term 1 is mostly consolidation of last year's work. Yes, I'm just procrastinating the night before my assessment with the most content to memorise :))

at my school, we get a rank for each subject every term and in term 3 we get an aggregate

My school doesn't really use tech at all, so, 99% of the work we do in class is hand written. As a result, all of my notes I've taken in and out of class are handwritten, but the problem is that my hand writing isn't very neat. I've been considering creating a neater, digitalised version of my...

relax man, it doesn't benefit anyone when you're getting pretty aggravated over an internet forum about school...

Apart from the standard reading texts ahead, making notes/summaries during the term time as you learn content, etc., what are some effective strategies to keep on top of things before crunchtime during exam periods?

Ah right, that was the main goal: to get better at my creative writing, seeing as I'm currently in the Reading to Write common module. My teacher suggested to me that reading widely may help me find a style of writing that I both enjoy and will be able to write well with. Do you have any more...

I've finally caved. I need to start reading if I want to stand a chance in doing well in english. What suggestions do you guys have for books that aren't super long and have some action (no romantic like stuff)?

well i guess thats true; what about other subjects? i see you did excellently in maths! i have powell, and from what i've seen and been told it's just work and not much teaching

ah right, yeah idk about illic i just heard my friend had her. did you know anyone who requested to change teachers? i really feel like quinn is going to drop my marks, as if they weren't low enough already.

going into yr12 or if i pick up ext, who would be the teachers that i should look out for? i heard derricourt and illic are good.

hmm yeah, i guess that maybe turning to a private tutor would be better, as black.mamba said ext is quite different to adv so maybe the advantages can't directly be applied, apart from general text composition etc. i'm just not sure if i'm up to ext english and the pretty daunting extra work (ie...

do you know how they found it? were they in the same position as me; ie doing ext for the extra practice etc

but i fear that either: 1. i spend too much time on ext english, a subject that i know i'm dropping, and not enough on the subjects i'm taking to year 11 2. i don't spend enough time, and it's not worthwhile.

damn, really? but i heard the comparative text study is really quite difficult, especially for me, who's bum at english

Well i got quinn for adv and i really wanna change. i'll probably get rejected if i ask for a move, but if i swap to ext, i'll get a change.

yeah, that's why i don't understand why we must do a minimum of 6 subjects, because i would've probably just dropped geo or eco to pick up ext english.

I notice that you went to grammar too hahah would you say that i would struggle in extension if i was averaging a C, when they recommend it to people averaging D/HD?

I've been told that taking ext 1 just for year 11 can be beneficial for your english skills in general. If I do take ext 1, I plan to drop it for year 12. However, the issue is that I have 13 units right now, as my school requires me to take atleast 6 subjects in year 11. Currently, I'm taking...

What content does he generally cover? Skills/essay writing or specifically texts?

Has anyone used Mr. Waldon? Would you recommend them? I can't find anything on it except a post from 2005...
