In my view:

1) work reasonably hard consistently. Don't bludge 1st 9 months and start panicking & cramming last minute.

2) if possible self-accelerate. This is like putting away money for your savings, for a rainy day. If you are say 3 topics ahead, and for some reason you fell sick or need 3 additional weeks for your major assignment you won't be pushed for time. You have a buffer - a margin of safety. Time lost canot be redeemed.

3) Make sure you keep up; if you cannot keep up work harder or seek help (paid or not)

4) Don't spend(waste) too much time playing computer games, facebook, bored of studies, watch telly. Of course make sure you also allocate time for relaxation/socialising.

5) etc stc

Good luck.

definitely learn ahead! this will help you a lot during Year 12 - you will be doing past papers whilst your classmates are still learning the material.

as you are in Year 11, make sure to try out different study methods and see which one works for you.
Dont stress too much -make sure you study and do your homework

Experiment as much as you can in Year 11 before you hit Year 12. With study techniques that is..
