Dot points for biology! And then reading the information and go over it in your head so that you know you can explain it if someone asks you about it.
I'm not really sure how to study for music either......maybe write summaries on the pieces you've analysed?

My SOR class is a bludge, and we hardly get any work done. Having said that, the thing you only really do need for SOR is the syllabus, and a good set of notes, then you're pretty much covered in terms of marks. I don't even have that and I'm going well.

Do tons of aural questions for music. Provided you do music 1. And also play a hell of a lot so you can nail the perfs at the end.

eng/eng1: practice essays, know your related/stimulus/core texts really well, do heaps of reading (in general), talk to your eng teacher about anything you’re unsure of as much as you can – if you have a crap teacher, try your head teacher =]

music: this one is pretty obvious – practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice!!! xD
but im afraid i don’t do music =.= because apparently if you don’t already have amus by year 10... then im better off doing more units of maths to maximize my result… *sigh*

sorry, i only do SOR the same as you, but in general...
  • don't stress- it only makes things worse
  • draw mind maps, pics, speak info onto a recorder or something so you can just listen and take it in when you are tired
  • put your diagrams all over you bedroom walls, bathroom door, write info on your arms- if you see it enough you're sure to take it in
  • try explaining the info to someone else- you'll get back to the basics and remember and learn it yourself in the meantime.
  • remember when your studying- there are a few thousand others in the same boat. school and uni are meant to be the best years of your life (how depressing!) so enjoy it while you can. there are always other ways to get where ever you want
best of luck!:)

imageshack.us for all your image hosting needs.

Google for every other question you will ask today.

For extension 2 English too, I'd recommend writing a lot and showing it to everyone you can, no matter who. A girl in my class got some great ideas from a Standard student, so there must be something there.

Also, another thing I have found so far is that no matter your medium, make sure to fully research every little tidbit of subject matter so you know exactly what you are talking about.

Another general bit of advice too is to try and get a teacher at your school that you get along with to be your mentor to help you through.
