tbh i did a whole lot of nothing lol, but that was because i was seriously burnt out from term 1 like it was bad. anyway one piece of advice was just do a little bit everyday instead of expecting so much in one day and just rest like tbh its your only opportunity to chill out a little bit but it depends on your subjects, maybe they require you to do more than mine did it just depends. Also, do english paper 1 in summer holidays if anything! seriously this will save u so much time, i remember wasting so much time practicing paper 1 for my trials when i couldve been doing paper 2...

The best thing that improved my english capabilities was literally asking ur teacher every single thing that comes to your head. when i transfered into advanced in year 12 i was so scared to fail that I harassed my teacher and he looked at everything i wrote and my improvement came from his feedback. Also, keep writing, practice writing under timed conditions (i know its the worst but the hsc will happen either way) and know your text!!! ALSO ALSO ALSO, something that always put me top band was using a tripartite structure for my essays, what this means is that you make a 3 stage arc instead of doing paras on random things. For instance my mod b was on like illusion of permanence and i would have three stages: 1) duality between flesh and spirit, 2) dislocation, 3) acceptance. It was more detailed than this but you get the picture.

just figure out if you're losing marks because of structure, your ideas themselves, or how you adapt to the question.
if you struggle with structure, just read exemplars and note how they order their arguments+ hand in lots of responses playing with different structures
if it's your ideas, read a lot of articles about your prescribed texts and also try to come up with personal ideas about your text
if it's adapting to the question, just expose yourself to a bunch of questions before the exam- don't write full essays, just think, how would i write this? write your thesis, points, evidence etc and if you feel as if your argument is lacking strength in any one area, perhaps try looking for stronger evidence/analysis for it

Alright. Thank you so much for your ideas guys and I wish you all the best. You guys got this!

look at the syllabus, trust me this is the best thing. I remember before year 11 i looked at the syllabus and thought it was a whole bunch of nothing but trust me look at it, familiarise yourself with it and try to get to know a few dot points before hand.

that's not even bad tbh. Like 16/20 was my max in year 11. But I was talking about brushing up on math. But for eng ur school should give u texts that your gonna study for year 11 so just read them. But to improve ur English marks, write a ton of practice essays and hand them in to ur teacher cause that's what improved my marks from barely passing to the B range
