I used a Pomodoro focus timer when I was studying for trials, and it did wonders. I would study in 25 minutes, take a 5 minute break then do another 25 minutes on the same subject, then take another 5 minute break and move on to the next subject. I repeated this process all day so that way, I...

I completed Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2, was extremely passionate about English and still ended up being one of the only people in my cohort to receive a band 6 in Advanced English. I also found Extension 1 and 2 were more demanding of my time because there's a higher degree of...
