Haha, what do you mean?

 

[BienvenueAMusA]

ah in my school when you're a senior you can go before the juniors for the bus and you can go outside of school during lunch and recess to eat food

Yay! I’m glad this is up. On here I’m going to go by the name Violet. I’m super stoked to meet everyone who is starting year 11. My subjects are Visual arts, biology, chemistry, advanced english, ext 1 english, advanced maths (probably) SOR and Legal studies (I’ll probably drop legal, it was reccomended to me that I have a back up subject to begin with.) Which subjects are you guys taking?

[Frostguard]

Omg I remember when I was like you guys, enthusiastic, hopeful and excited and then Prelims hit me and there's so much content now send help
I'll try not to be cliche as possible but try to have as much fun as possible, Y11 is your trial year, see what subjects you like and perform well as well as the areas you struggle at. Learn to efficiently write notes and make other study methods, studying with your friends or doing past papers before your big exam!! Don't burn out though!!!! Treat every day like a step towards the top and sure enough, Prelims will come and you'll be exhausted af but ready to begin your biggest chapter. Good Luck to all the new Prelim kids!!!!
(Also I just want to see you guys try out all the new subject syllabuses/syllabi, especially English LMAO and hopefully I'll feel better about myself for having to do Discovery so boringgggg)
Have fun!!! But not too much fun haha

Hi fellow Year 11s! My subjects are Advanced English, Mathematics, Mathematics Extension 1, Biology, Chemistry, PDHPE and Spanish.

Anyone figured out how they're organising all their work this year (laptop, exercise books, binders, folders, loose leaf pages, etc.)?

* Maths I used grid books
* Binders are really good if your teacher gives you heaps of hand outs.

 

[Mongoose528]

Hey all, doing WACE but I figured that this was the most active of forums, so I may as well talk here.

Doing Specialist, Methods, Accounting, Physics, Chemistry and English.

Good luck everyone.

 

[Milo_]

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!

Not sure if my teachers will give a lot of hand outs but I'm planning to get a big binder or lever arch file and put dividers in so I can have my hand outs with me at all times. I'm also planning on getting a 128pg binder book for each subject. Is this too much or will it be fine? Will the big binder/lever arch file be enough for ALL of my hand outs from ALL subjects (they can hold 200-375 depending on which one I buy), or should I just get separate binders for each subject?

I've been using grid books for Maths since forever but I've read some threads on here and majority of people are saying to just get a normal lined book so you can prepare for the HSC as they will just give you lined paper to do your working out. What are your thoughts on this?

Sorry for all the questions, I just really need help because I wanna be organised and on top of my game this year.
