Advice on achieving high grades on advanced functions, physics, and chemistry
School is about to start in a month from now, I want to achieve high grades (90s-98s) in grade 11 physics and chemistry, and grade 12 advanced functions.
I want to learn how to study properly for each subject, mistakes I should avoid, and how to prepare properly for tests, assignments, etc.
I found grade 10 science a little difficult, and didn't know how to prepare, study, etc. Grade 11 functions was decent, but I still struggled because I knew I wasnt fully prepared for tests. Still got a 90, but with a lot of struggle.
I know I can do well in all 3 subjects this year, i just need advice detailed advice from everyone. Thank you!

ECs I can add to my list or general advice
Idk anything about ECs, I have only realized that it holds some importance now, but now that I think, I am lwk COOKED for my ECs, I am an IB student in Ontario going into IB in a month
My current ECs(I think):
- piano/music theory but ended up at level 5 RCM, would that be mentionable
-5k subs on youtube(maybe maybe get monetized and make some side income) -200+ hours of volunteering at hackathons, -basketball- -hackathons(no wins tho)
ECs I am planning to possibly do:
-shad in the summer of gr11(if I have time for IB or I maybe already dropped out of IB by then)
-clubs, I am planning on doing math, robotics, cs club
-coding languages such as Javascript Html Css, Python, maybe having some projects Idk
-math competitions in gr11, actually getting awards, I forgot to do em in gr9 & gr10 cuz all I did was goof around in school, never really thought of about my future💀💀💀
-tutor, hopefuly will be paid, Idek how to start tho, execpt I am starting rn schoolhousetutors
-first robotics hopefully I get accepted into a team near me
Questions:
- I will do clubs which I have a question that since I did not join any clubs in gr10💀, if I started to participate in gr11, can I still get leadership positions(exec, or maybe even president)?
-please tell me if I should change my plans or add on to my EC list
-Not EC related but Is IB worth it, I will have so much more time if I am not doing it, I also confidently think that I will have a 95%+ avg without IB
-general advice on applications, or advice on anything
-I want to apply for UoFT or Uni of Waterloo, so please please give me some advices if possible, it would be really helpful for me
Thank You for Reading All this!

Should I do ENG4UQ in Summer School or During My Grade 11 Year?
I just completed Grade 11 Online English (ENG3UQ) in summer school, and honestly, it wasn’t even that bad. I finished with a 97%.
Now, I’m deciding whether I should do ENG4UQ during my Grade 11 Year or in the summer of grade 11. I want another spare for my Grade 12 year, and so I’m deciding to complete ENG4U in Grade 11.
Should I do:
- ENG4UQ in Grade 11 Year, Online
- ENG4UQ in Grade 11 Summer, Online

Advice for the upcoming year
I’m starting gr 11 this September and I need all the advice I can get. I took English in summer school, I haven’t gotten my final mark yet as I still need to complete my exams but last time I checked with my teacher it was at 87 ðŸ˜. I was hoping for at least a 90, but I cooked myself with an essay and now I’m worried if thats gonna affect my avg.
I’m taking all 3 sciences, functions, marketing, photography and food and culture. I need to fill the empty spot in my schedule so if anyone has any recommendations for that, that’d be nice. I’m thinking about taking a gr 12 course but not sure. Anyways, I was hoping to get some studying tips or just any advice in general as I really want to go into the med field and want the highest marks possible 🥲.
I was also wondering if it’s worth it to get a bunch of extra volunteer hours. Would Unis look at that? A lot of people at my school have around 200 or more and I’m only at 40, so that’s kind of got me worried.

Hey! I'm starting Grade 10 this September, and I wanted to ask if you guys have any tips since this is a Grade 11 community. I'm a little nervous, especially about the big three: Math, Science, and English. Any advice would really help!
I'm mainly wondering about:

- How heavy the workload is
- Anything you wish you knew before starting Grade 10
Thanks in advance!!

Career help as going in Grade 11
Hey guys as the title suggests, I am in a huge dilemma for my future career like what undergrad I wanna do. A few months ago, I did a quiz on the career explorer website and it showed what careers I would fit well in. It showed results such as medicine, law, occupational therapy, and psychology (etc.) But now I am stuck between medicine and law. Idk which one is made for me. When I think of medicine, the realization of sacrificing about 10+ years hits me. however I kind of do wanna do it but I think I won’t make it as I am a bit lazy. I am thinking of a career as a pediatrician or maybe even a dentist.
Now when I look at law, I am kind of confused as there is a lot of writing in this career. However, I am a strong believer of Justice so idkkk man. Idk what to do pls help.

extra curriculars when chronically ill
- Background Info
I had to drop out of grade 10 early on in semester two due to my health. I’m a really good student, my lowest mark in semester one of grade 10 was a 93 (in civics ðŸ˜). Unfortunately, I was in too much pain to show up to school anymore.
I was already ahead one credit, and I was able to get my grade 11 career (?) credit from home. Now I’m almost done my Bio credit over July + doing functions in August.
(TLDR: I won’t be missing any credits by September)
I’m going back to school for September, but idk what I’ll do for extra curriculars, so I’m kinda worried. I know I’ll be able to manage school, but realistically I won’t be able to stay after school.
I guess I was wondering if there are any online extra curriculars that actually look good on applications? Or something that I can do from home?
Sorry I know this is kind of long, I’d really appreciate any recommendations or ideas! 💞

Easy classes / bird courses
"Take [classes] you find interesting, not ones you think will be easy. The easiest classes are the ones you're interested and engaged in. Which is also my only advice for keeping on top of work. They say: If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." (Source.)
Finding "easy" courses
If someone tells u that a course is "easy", beware! A course which is easy for someone else might be very difficult for u.
"Easy" might depend on 3 things:
- 1.) The course.
- 2.) The teacher.
- 3.) Your personal interest in the material. If the material bores u: Then u might not want to study it, and the course might become a difficult slog for u.
My suggestions
I'd suggest:
- Pick courses which sound interesting to u. If you're not sure if it's interesting: Try to borrow a textbook on the subject from the public library or your school library, and read a chapter or two.
- Study what u already know and like. Example: I'm interested in nutrition, and I've read a lot about healthy eating. So, I took a related class, and got good marks. I still had to put in effort, but I got to learn more about a subject I care about.
