School rank: Top 15 last year, overall top 20 for the past few years.

English Adv: 120s/167
Math:57/113
Math Ext 1: 87/115
Chem:2/98
Bio:~6/49
Phys:30s/77

My current dilemma is whether to focus on improving my english rank more than my other subjects or should I focus on my other subjects and leave english around where it is? Which option would yield a greater return in the long term?

If you can get your English to like top 80, then that would really benefit you.
Sitting at around 95 imo

If I manage to increase english to top 80 and 2u to 30s would I be able to obtain 98+? assuming that I am able to maintain the rest.

fuark, dat chem rank solid!

but yeh, defs need to improve maths and english (although top 80 for english won't suffice imo, probably better to break the top 50 at least)

what are you finding hard in english tho?

So far in english it has been largely impromptu writing caused by panicking and partial blank outs when writing essays in exams. Also dont have much experience in adapting essays so during a test when a different style of question comes up it causes that cycle of forgetting a significant amount of analysis and thus having to create an analysis on spot.
