Hi!
Welcome to the forums
The fact that you're seeking out advice is a great start. I recommend you use year 11 in general (including any prep on these holidays) to test out how you learn best and effective studying techniques. A mistake that students often make is sticking with an ineffective technique (e.g. passively reading textbooks is very ineffective for most students) and not trying a range of tactics. Another common mistake is not taking the time to invest in their health and wellbeing. It can be easy to sacrifice sleep, healthy eating etc. but in the end neglecting health ends up sabotaging both you and your results.
That's enough from me on things
not to do, for things to do here's some starting points:
- Learn any fundamentals you're uncomfortable with from year 10 and earlier studies. For example, if you struggle to solve equations for a variable or to plot graphs the holidays are a good chance to work on this
- Look up the
syllabuses for your subjects. These tell you what you are expected to learn and the types of assessments you can have. Units 1&2 correspond to year 11.
- When you answer questions be conscious of
cognitive verbs and how they influence the response you need to give
- Read any texts for English subjects
- Using your syllabuses, start to learn about the topics at the start of Unit 1 (if you have any issues please feel free to ask for help)
That's the main advice I can think of that applies to all subjects, please do feel free to update with your subjects for more specific advice
P.S I've moved this to Queensland Education Discussion because it fits better there but no stress - I understand the forums can be a bit confusing at the start (it gets easier with practice
)
