    any point to studying hard in year11?

    In my opinion, just for establishing good study habits and becoming familiar with the course and style of exam questions. It doesn't have a direct impact on your performance in Yr 12.

    Who is ready for yr 11?

    Oh, I completely agree. I see you're doing Ext English, so my respect for you has already doubled.

    Do i still have hope? (maths fail=predicted band 4)...

    Maths is my weakest link, so although I'm aiming for a Band 5 I'd be content with a Band 4. Don't hit the panic button; stick with Ext. 1 and see how you go. If it's not working out by the end of the prelims, drop to 2U.

    Best & Worst Libraries

    Who is ready for yr 11?

    I realise that the workload will increase hugely, but otherwise I'm sure I'll enjoy Year 11 to an extent. I enjoy all of the subjects I've chosen, except for Mathematics, which is why I only picked 2U.

    Masturbating before exams.

    They say to do either meditation or masturbation. I take that most of you are better at the latter. I know I am.
