Tests, tasks and consolidating work from Term 1 and 2.

Tips for completing Grade 11 online
Like any goal in life, preparation and commitment are key. The following tips will help you thrive and not just survive your Grade 11 year:
Preparation
Create a daily schedule for yourself and stick to it. One idea is to create 4 x 90 minute blocks. Take regular breaks and get some fresh air, don’t just sit behind your screen during your breaks.
Daily revision
If you revise your work on a daily basis, you will be able to stay on top of your work and also identify any possible problem areas which you can then obtain support for via our Tutor Chat.
Plan your term
Print out your assessment schedule and place it in a prominent place where you can view it daily. Ensure you stay ahead of your tasks and never miss a test or exam as you will receive zero.
Study effectively
Remember to focus hard during your lessons but take regular breaks to keep your mind alert. Attend a study course if you feel you are not able to study effectively. Time management is critical at this point in your school career, so master this skill and it will benefit you throughout your study and work career.
