Would have gone out more at the start of the year and less at the end.
Taken lit with eng in yr11 so I fixed up my issues quickly and did something I enjoyed.

That's it. I don't have that many regrets.

Would have dropped German. I like learning languages, but German was simply not my strength.

Good thing you've got 8 subjects then... :P

for thushan not being a strength means not getting premiers. haha

hahahaha

In a way, im kinda glad ive had a more chilled approach and not study, study, study and study. Ive had an awesome time this year, while maintaining good results. Dont really have any regrets, has gone pretty well overall.

Year 12 is so overrated. It's not that bad.

-Do Uni Maths instead of Physics

Best decision I EVER made. Advice to Year 11s: If you're stuck between the two, pick a Uni Enhancement instead of physics. You're not missing much, having gotten a pretty good physics foundation in year 11 (ie. if you study it at uni, you won't be all 'WTFFFF is this shit'), the work load/stress is SO MUCH LESS than VCE 3/4s, and I can rest assured that I don't have to work any where near as hard as I would have to for a good physics score, Uni Maths is my favourite subject and life is sweet.

I would: Do more English, not epic fail my spesh SACs, have spent more time prepping for my French oral exam, have taken the NQE for Chem olympiad.

Done a different subject in Year 11. I did Revs by distance, and then had to drop it because my distance teacher wouldn't reply for weeks on end. So I'm stuck doing six this year.

Would have taken Latin back in year 7...  Maybe would have not done Spesh.

Actually, I'm adding that to my list: Should've taken Latin or Japanese in Year 7 instead of German, and then kept it up through year 9/10. I really wish I'd learn Latin or Jap, instead of German (I can remember, like, 5 words...).
