#year 11

[minuit-blanche]

You’re 16, and in some form of nihilistic self importance, you just laughed in the face of a high school bully. She threatens to knock you out if you don’t stop. You just watched a Doctor Who in which Clara Oswald says “threats only work if you deliver” so you tell her to hit you. She doesn’t. You feel big. You feel powerful. You tell her to enjoy high school because no adult will tolerate her abuse and she has reached her life’s peak in year 11. She hits you hard. But it was worth it. Your classmates are watching, and you hug the one she scared. Later, your mum will receive a message from that classmate’s mum saying she won’t stop talking about you. You will chase this high for the rest of your life but in the end, you also peaked in year 11.

IGCSE

Heyy everyone

So did CIE's IGCSE and *hair flip* got an A* in all my subjects.

So yeah I'm just tryna help. Fr.

Now listen u dont need to get an A* to be happy with ur grades. If those are ur goals then u go girl. If those are not u still go girl.

But my mum always says "Always aim higher than what u can get. Then you will reach the farthest u can go. Now go make another omelette for me."

Now a major thing I would do before an exam is open a candidate response, the qp, the ms and the examiner report.

Do each question, check with the markscheme, check the candidate response and assess where u are and then the examiner report.

I love this so much: https://paper.sc/

Examiner reports are a really underrated resource and are REALLY HELPFUL.

Use the 'IGCSE' reddit and discord server

IGCSE Notes – Soumya Pandey

Here are some of the resources I used and each subject tips

Maths:

Past papers past papers past pAPERS PAST PAPERS PAST PA-

Girl i cant tell u enough

Also makes sure to learn all the calculator tricks including the linear equations one, differentiation (the only ones I can think off the top of my head)

Make sure to practice past papers have good time management. Calm down during the exam. It'll all be fine.

(trust me i went and got bangs cause i was depressed about the way i wrote the exam and here we are)

Sciences:

Use the examiner report tip. Always always use the syllabus of each subject. And ofc past papers

Business:

Bs is one of the easist subjects cause of the repeated questions and the low thresholds. If there is one subject u wanna chose for fun let it be BS or EVM

EVM:

Smallest syllabus ever

Just do past papers you'll be fine

Ik everyone says that but thats cause its true

The same advice goes to ICT. Like the practicals are the easiest shit u can think of but a big mistake that people do is forget theory.

Study for theory and u get good marks.

English (1st language) :

My fav subject in IGCSE

It was sooo good

Always choose descriptive its just easier to score in

Go read books from good authors like Madelline Miller, Katherine Arden, and Ocean Vuong. Get phrases that u really like and copy them into a word document. Go through it before the exam and use it in the writing

AND THATS ALL

To everyone doing their GCSE's

All the best

Just remember that it isnt everything. Year 10 and 11 is all about finding urself and having the time of ur life. I sure as hell did. And at the end of the day these results dont matter half as much as u think. Its not that they're not important. Its just that there are more important things in the world.

Go live ur best life before the A level train hits.

Doing some food work, approaching SAC season 😭

On that note, I would like to take the time to highlight what I truly believe is the key to success- mental health and breaks.

Year 12, and VCE in general, is an extremely stressful time, filled with lots of stress and pressure and anxiety. I myself have already had about 2 breakdowns and it’s only the end of Week 5. So I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone who might see this that it is 100% ok to take breaks. Take a day off! It’s not healthy to constantly be thinking of school and applications and results.

Do something fun! Go to the beach, go to a party, have a pyjama day! Live life. Look after yourselves my loves xx
