Year 11 Parent Information Session What should you do now?

• Talk to your teachers and listen to their advice • Aim at improving your marks from this report by an achievable amount for the Semester 2 report • OR realise that the fj rst assessment task may have focussed on an area of strength - so how do you not go backwards too much from here? • Work at focused study vs comfort study
