    Tips or advice on SMASHING biology, general mathematics and chemistry?

    Make summary notes to the syllabus dot points. I type it up as i find it easier to add and revise the content i put in but its also not a bad idea to write it up manually.

    Legal studies or drama. advanced english or standard?

    Advanced vs Standard. Do advanced, as long as you feel you are capable of it. There's still plenty of time to improve in English if you feel that it is a weakness. Keep in mind that getting 70-75 wont really do you any good, in fact 75 would probably scale you down to the mid 60's. If you choose...

    Need studying tips

    Set goals to achieve rather than just a time frame. Make notes according to syllabus dot points and use your school work and other resources(textbook/websites) to compile a set of notes. Revise regularly and do past papers under exam conditions.

    Tips for year 10??

    Make the most of "bludging' and just enjoy it. The only significant step up I noticed in year 10 was English, compared to the other junior years. The assessments became more difficult but as long as you follow the criteria and marking guidelines you will be fine. As for studying, don't stress...

    Need some advice..

    No need for all that tutoring, only get it if you feel that you are unable to cope with a subject and need that extra help which your teachers may not be able to offer. The best way thing for year 11 would be to try out different study techniques/habits and find what works well for you so that...
