I have heard of so many techniques and tried them out and I feel like I still haven't found a studying technique that suits me. What's some techniques that genuinely worked for you and you still use? (also have adhd 🥲)

some that i already tried:

pomodoro technique(its works sometimes but not really for me)

The Feynman Technique(this one actually helps but i dont always have soemone to explain it too)

The Leitner System.(dont get this one)

shadow studying technique(never tried this)

Interleaving(this ones good but it js feels wrong)

Hi, I'm a Year 10 student and I've recently been thinking about which maths subject I should choose for Year 11.

I really want to do Mathematical Methods, but I've heard that a lot of students end up switching to General Maths partway through the year because Methods is so difficult. The problem is that I need Methods if I want to study science, and I've also heard that many university courses require it as a prerequisite.(environmental science)

My maths hasn't always been my strongest subject, and I think that's mostly because my foundations aren't the best. However, I've been putting in a lot of effort this year. I have a tutor now, I've been practising regularly, and I honestly think I've improved a lot since I started getting tutoring.

I'm currently doing Core Maths, which leads into Methods. I recently got 38% on a test (please don't judge, I know it's not a great mark), but the cohort average was only 35%. When I looked back over my test, I realised I made some really silly mistakes that I probably could have avoided. I feel like I actually understand most of the concepts, but I struggle to apply them consistently. I think what I really need is more practice and to be more consistent with my revision. Also i heard that the questions arent straightforward at all and are like actually problems

I still have about six months before I have to finalise my Year 11 subjects, so I'm wondering if I'm doing the right things to prepare. If I keep working hard, practising consistently, and improving my foundations, do you think Mathematical Methods is still a realistic option for me, or would General Maths be the better choice?

I'm a Year 10 student, and I'm a little confused about which English subject I should choose for Year 11.

I just finished English Language this semester and will be moving on to Mainstream English next semester. I honestly hated English Language. I thought it wouldn't be too bad, but I genuinely didn't understand or enjoy it, and my teacher wasn't very helpful either. I also did terribly on the exam, so I don't really think there's much hope for me in English Language.

The main reason I chose English Language in Year 10 was to see whether I would like it before making my Year 11 subject selections. I had also heard that it scales well, which made it seem like a good option, but after experiencing it, I don't think it's the right subject for me.

I've heard that Literature is even harder than English Language, but it also seems much more interesting. From what I understand, it focuses more on analysing novels, poems, and other texts, which is something I enjoy far more than studying language itself. I remember doing this kind of analysis in Year 9. I know Year 11 Literature would be much more difficult, but I didn't mind analysing books and practising those skills back then.

Mainstream English, on the other hand, just seems a bit boring to me.

I'm not sure which subject would suit me best. Should I choose Literature because I find the content more interesting, even though it's considered the hardest English subject, or should I stick with Mainstream English?
