Study tips for year11. (1 Viewer)

[Twickel]

Hi
I am starting my preliminary course next year and I would like to know your study tips based on the subjects I am doing.
Thankyou

 

[Twickel]

Has anyone studied the Aspern papers and the turn of the screw for English advanced? I am interested in this book.

 

[tommykins]

For "Study", just keep up with notes in your subjects. do ur maths hw.

thats all thats required of yr 11.

 

[Kujah]

Cram if necessary.

For MX1, get yourself familiarised with a wide range of questions, and just practise.

For the three sciences, make sure your notes and practicals are up to date. Know how to structure your answers for the long response questions in your exams next year.

English: Just know your texts well, and know how to be flexible when it comes down to doing creative writing.

do ur maths hw.

Looking back on year 11, I probably could have done so much better if I had done my maths homework. This applies for all levels of maths - no exceptions.

Keep up to date with your homework.
Start assessments ASAP.
Plan your time.
Don't stress once year 11 is over it doesn't count for anything but is good practice.

What about 30% of mathematics preliminary? That counts.

 

[Kujah]

30% of preliminary will be in your HSC exam. Your Year 11 marks don't count. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Agreed!

I could have done so well in maths... But I didn't..

 

[babikakez]

I've promised myself that I'm going to do my maths homework and all next year...but I know that I probably won't

Hey guys I know I stuffed up my SC bad, I know for sure I got band2s and band3s aslo did bad in my second semester school report, but I have a reason it is personal and I know thats why I did not do well, also the fact that I was out of Australia for 6weeks due to another personal matter. I did well in my first semester then I just dropped in the 2nd I had so many problems all at once.
I know I will do better next year so far all but one of the problems have been solved.
Does it really matter about my SC marks?

No.

The really important thing in Science is that you cover absolutely everything in your notes. Luckily science isn't about rhetoric, grammar, and it isn't as heavy on logic as maths. It's just facts, and if you've got that you've got everything. So note down everything your teacher says in class, then compile all your notes as the exams near. There'll always be those tricky questions which rely on information in a little corner of the textbook

 

[tommykins]

For science - structure your answers and notes as you would in an exam, they'll never ask you to write essays, and normally when you answer questions you can answer them in dot point form, that is one point then another then summarise it fairly quickly.

Maths - nerh, do your homework, and when your school provides past papers, do them, that's all you need for year 11.

english - fuck it, don't bother (bias hate for english)


For year 11, it is a good thing to get into the habit, but don't let good marks make your head big, as nothing contributes to your HSC.

And for the last time, Year 11 does NOT count ANYTHING in your HSC. The content will be examined on (only a bit) but the marks gained in year 11 are nothing but indicator of how you can improve.

Good look fellas.

 

[Aplus]

Just pay attention in class and read over your notes.

30% of preliminary will be in your HSC exam. Your Year 11 marks don't count. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

That's right Kujah I meant that 30% of preliminary content will be in the HSC for mathematics, not 30% of your preliminary marks goes towards the HSC. My bad :rofl:

 

[Twickel]

OK cool, so about the SC no worrys?

Thanks for all your advice everyone.

 

[zy]

you crazy kids.

The most valueable thing to know in year 11 IMO, is that (at least for my subjects), you dont need to know the year 11 content to understand the year 12 content (Business studies, software, modern.... pfft easy concepts), soooo basically cram study yr 11 stuff the night b4 exams - But I'd go the extra step and actually study the year 12 stuff now

 

[IMTB]

do ur hw. pay attention in class. and have some guides/books on hand to act as a referance when u need it!
