As per usual, I would NOT have done physics. However, I probably would have done Economics and I wish I had also done better English preparation in yr11 :)

Just overall work harder in subjects and consult teachers more often when I didn't understand something, also keeping more organised.

I've said this before, and its something I regret, but DON'T NEGLECT ENGLISH, it will hurt you in the end. I procrastinated doing english by doing spesh (as I really enjoyed spesh), in the end my english wasn't as high but it was stuck in the top four.

As much as I hated English, I should have put more work into it, if you can do that little bit better in English it pays off.

Don't assume that one exam will be easier than another. Have an emphasis on English but treat the rest as equal.

Oh and do a 3&4 subject in year 11. Yeah I still got a decent score with 5 subjects but honestly in Y10 and 11 you may as well get ahead of the pack.

I'm a bit confused, why are you conversing with yourself?

Like VegemitePi, I probably would not have picked Physics this year - I should've picked Biology instead. Although, that could have made things very difficult because I have to drop a subject at the end of this year anyway... :/

Why do all of you regret about doing Physics? I wish I did it because it could help me the kinematics topic in Spesh.
Anyways, Bio is awesome though. I'm happy with it :P
