lol is my school the only ones that released an assessment handbook in the holidays telling us all our assessments and their weightings
That's very nice of your school... once we had a Chemistry prac and written task and the teacher gave us the notification 10 days before the task with 10 experiments to study and 4 of the experiments weren't done so we had to cram it all in within a 3 day space. Our English department is very unorganised too. Have a teacher that never responds to my emails and I'm surprised she taught English let alone Advanced.

Also when is half yearlies, is it near the end of term 1 or when specifically, I can't remember from the top of my head

Also half yearlies are usually first 2 core modules (for the sciences) and first half of the maths topics right? What is usually assessed in half yearlies for English?

Do you need to buy your textbooks? Why not just get the textbooks from your school?

Why do you have three trials T_T
lol it's pretty good it worked out this year because I moved up a few ranks each trial for maths. I think it's good for more practice but also bad because you'll be tired by the end of it. We finish all our content term 2 week 7 of next year and have the first trial at the end of that term, then in term 3 we have the CSSA around week 3-4 and last trial week 7-8 I think.

Pikachu r u doing quanta to quarks as your option?
Yeah
