Hey guys, I'm loving year 11 (especially SORII COUGH COUGH) Ummm so I'm doing Extension 1 English, SOR II, Hospitality, Ancient History, Business Studies and Economics. I'm so nervous cause like our SOR teachers put SO much stress on us it's not funny, catholics schools for the win.

already dropped ext eng !! still on 13 units though
but it's alright, 2 of those units are accelerated so it'll be done and dusted by the end of this year

bio is hella chill it’s just a lot of memorisation in a short amount of time and the y11 content is so boring, finished prelim in 8 weeks - so a whole years worth of hours in 2 months (I’m doing the last of the old syllabus), started the y12 content which is way more interesting, the extra hours including saturday school is fine cause we get breaks to go to the shops next to our school, there’s morning classes too from 7:30am but honestly it’s really good so far, it sucks for those doing the new syllabus cause there is sooo much unnecessary content which you have to learn and memorise. The only things you really need from y11 is the reliability and validity, application q’s but that’s for the old syllabus.

As an ex-maths accelerant, I enjoyed biology way more as it’s minimal understanding and just memorisation whereas maths actually required learning and I needed to really grasp the concepts and that fast paced nature of the classes were bad made it to derivatives before dropping to normal classes to focus on bio (those who went tutoring for maths since y10 and did the prelim course are the ones who usually stay in the accelerated maths class).

Also our school doesn’t do acceleration anymore they do compression where they condense 2 years worth of content into a year which is stupid and acceleration is better ie y7 you do y8 work and y8 you do y9 and etc.
prelim course in 8 weeks...Saturday school...all i can say is bruh.
But why tho? lmao

Good luck everyone! It's coming closer and closer... I'm personally excited (we just got our timetable/teachers, pretty solid in my opinion!)

My subjects are for this year:

- Maths Adv.
- SOR II
- English Adv.
- Physics
- Business Studies
- Multimedia

How is everyone going to sort out their notes and such? I'm still in a bit of a dilemma on how to do so. lol

Good luck everyone!

MILOOO!!!! Boi aren't we LOVING SOR2!!!

Lol I hate this new english syllabus, but I have a good teacher who is taken it through with us in such a good way and I'm enjoying it which is good.

i do triple science (phys, chem, bio) plus accelerated agriculture and ext 1 maths right now, so i thought that the workload would be too extreme with ext eng as well
frankly, i'm not regretting my decision at all HAHA the project seems torturous

what subs you accelerating?

accelerating good old agriculture! :') making animal notes right now, oh man

dropped mx1 & sor1 for sor2 today, casue i'm a lazy piece of shit, even though i'm kinda topping 2u currently. I'm not bothered to do the mx1 hw and my mx1 teach isn't so great, a lot of self-learning and I could have gotten a tutor but ceebs, much rather focus on 2u and chill through sor2 since I was going to drop mx1 and sor1 anyway in y12 but now i'll be dropping sor2 in y12
