Is there any way to actually improve english. Should I be writing creatives and analytical pieces as practice?

Yes. You can always improve. Start by writing textual pieces under timed conditions. Set a timer for 40 mins and see how much you can write during that time.

Well you would study it at school. You should be given tee tables and those are what you should be memorising.

Analyse the way other students write. Ask your teacher for help.

read books/newspapers. actively expand your vocab. be aware of grammar and fluency in your everyday life.

I suggest you should read a variety of different genres and fiction and non fiction texts. This will expose you to different styles of writing and help you pick up the techniques the author uses when it comes to exams. The HSC Advanced and Standard course have a reading task assessment where you are required to read a variety of texts and answer short questions. So by reading on a regular basis, you will definitely improve, hope this helps!
