Yeah I did consider it briefly (the same thing happened last year with a different teacher, but my school convinced me it would be different this year). Unfortunately its not an option anymore :'( I'm not allowed to transfer this far in... (according to my school).

- Listen to SBS french radio every single day. Not only it helps you know the current world  issues but it also helps with vocab.
- Do your detailed study + general convo asap and start practicing in front of the mirror if you don't have anyone to practice it with.
- Learn at least 1new word a day - helped me in my first SAC so much omg
- My teacher always tells us to write 1 essay per week in timed conditions. Make sure you ask for feedback
- Make a book of common mistakes you make and go through them every week
Hope this helps!

vox nihili:
I think vcestressed's advice in particular is very sage. I was in a similar position, except that I was in a class of 2 + 4 year 11s as well. There was a fairly big gap between them and me (sounds cocky...but I did beat the other student by 21 in terms of SS... :\). Using things like SBS radio, turning your phone/computer/facebook into French and even following French meme pages are all really good ways to immerse yourself in the language and build your skills without having to devote a huge amount of effort.

Personally, I find the easiest way to study for French is to really immerse yourself in the culture - watch French movies, listen to French songs (there are some really good playlists on Spotify), read French books or magazines, etc. Also, the Alliance Française holds VCE classes throughout term 2 and 3, so if you feel as if you need mor practice, you can always sign up
