    What is History Extension like?

    Hi! I’m a year 11 student about to sit prelims in 2 weeks. I’m still deciding if history extension is worth it to pick up? I do both modern and ancient and planning to keep both - is 5 units of history going to be a lot of work or will it ‘flow’ together in a way? Even though history ext is 1...

    What can I do right now for my exam prep in 5+ weeks away?

    In the lower years (and even last term) I never really did anything at all during the term. I'd finish some math homework daily, maybe some english hw too, but then I'd just go play some games or watch yt or something unproductive. Getting 40% in physics was a punch in the gut, and getting...

    why is English compulsory?

    I get why its needed up to year 10 as a core subject to prepare students if they want to continue it, but after that it just drags out and you don't really learn much that's useful in the grand scheme of things other than to overanalyse texts. id also much rather using that subject slot for...
