3. Take Initiative. Be an Active Learner.
During Year 11 and 12, I found taking accountability for my learning yielded the best results. Where I was unsure about the content or needed clarification, I actively sought feedback and guidance from not only teachers, but fellow students and my own research.
For me, taking an active role in my learning meant not only gaining this feedback, but taking it on board to ensure see measurable improvements. This was particularly the case for me in History: Revolutions where I began practice questions scoring 6-7/10 but continually sought feedback until I soon rose to 10/10s by the time of the SAC.
Although my English and Legal Studies teachers may have been inundated with my emails, your teachers are ultimately resources to make use of. It is up to you to utilise your resources – teachers, friends, research, textbooks.
