i’m going into grade 11 soon and i would say i have a heavy schedule (biology, physics, chemistry, functions etc.) im also taking co-op and i’m not sure on how to balance it all. any tips?
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:
Thanks in advance!!
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone could perhaps share their notes for grade 11 bio cause I lowk have none and my test is soon.
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.
Hi, I’m going into grade 11 next year and I’m trying to obtain a high average. The subject I struggle the most with is English. I don’t think my issue is grammar or spelling, I’ve always been good at that. When it comes to writing paragraphs and essays, my grades always fall short (70-80s). It’s only been an issue for me since high school, as I even got a graduation award for excellence in English in elementary school. I was also in the AP program, so maybe that affected things, but I dropped it this year incase that helps. I had an 80 in grade 9 which includes a 5% boost because of AP, and a 71 in grade 10, that also includes the boost. What can I do to improve in English? I do well in other subjects because a lot of them just require memorizing content and taking tests. Any advice would help.
- 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 😭). 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! 💞
Ever since I was in the third grade, my mother would talk about which university I had to go to. I hated reading books and my mother would tell me what would I do in university if I hated reading books. Honestly, I have never had a passion or dream of what I wanted to be in life. I was forced to do a lot of things by my mother. Right now I’m going to grade 11 IB. I don’t know what I wanna be and I honestly don’t have any interests other than sleeping. When I was starting high school my mother forced me to join clubs that I didn’t like and they never helped. My grades have always been great, I think my average is a 97%. I didn’t think I would make it to enter grade 11 so now I’m unprepared. My mom is forcing me to do biomedical engineering. I might not know what I wanna do with my life but I know that I hate engineering. Both of my parents are engineers and they have always forced me to code and do robotics competitions, which I always hated. To be honest, I hated everything they wanted me to do. What should I do?
Hi guys im going into Grade 11 this September and I need help achieving 90s in all classes. Grade 10 was my academic downfall where I got horrible grades. I got a 50 on a quiz once and ye I was pretty average this year. I really do need help on tips I can achieve 90s in all classes. i know I have potential in getting them but I am kinda lazy so please help. Also I need help for some things that I should focus on this year. Please don’t give basic tips :(
I'm going into grade 11 this year and have been told how terrible the NBE3U course is and doesn't prepare you for grade 12 English. It just feels like it'll be a history class that has a bit of English sprinkled in every now and then.
Don't get me wrong; learning about what happened to the indigenous people is important. Should there be a unit or something? Yes. But a whole class?
Is there any way to do the old grade 11 English curriculum because I'm so damn tired of all this shit? The government doesn't care; they're just checking off a box on the list without realizing how it'll impact youth.
We already read an indigenous book in grade 9 (I chose the marrow thieves, terrible book, do not recommend). I don't get why we have to learn the same shit over and over again. It's getting so annoying to the point that I don't care anymore. I felt bad at first, but now, with all of it constantly being shoved into my face and impacting MY education, I don't.
What's so special about indigenous people anyway? Because they were here first? So what? What about the black people who still face racism? Why don't we talk about that? Or the forigen workers who also face racism? It's mentioned maybe once or twice. Why focus on just one minority who we barely even see in Ontario or interact with, given a lot of them, are on the reserves. Or at least I assume given I can't necessarily tell if someone is indigenous or not just by looking at them 99% of the time.
We already have a month dedicated to indigenous people. When are we going to be 'reconciled' because it feels like it's never going to happen? I'm so done with this bullshit and really hope that there's an alternative. Grades 11 and 12 are super important if you want to get into a good university or college. I have an IEP if that gives me a better chance for accommodations.
I don't hate indigenous people, I'm sure most of them didn't ask for stuff like NBE3U. I hate the government that decided this was a good idea.
Hi everyone,
I’m starting Grade 11 this September and was wondering if there are any resources you’d recommend, especially for Biology and Chemistry.
I’m hoping to get a bit of a head start over the summer, not necessarily by studying everything, but by becoming familiar with the topics. Are there any YouTube channels, websites, textbooks, or other resources that you found really helpful?
Also, how can I find out exactly what the Grade 11 curriculum is before school starts? Is there an official place where the syllabus or learning outcomes are posted, or does it depend on the school/province?
Any advice from people who’ve already gone through Grade 11 would be really appreciated. Thanks!
hey! what are you guys doing over the summer to prepare for uni applications and things like that? Should I make an OUAC account now? I’m still undecided about what uni/program that I want but I wanna try and use my summer wisely to prepare myself for next year. I need inspo, what are you guys doing?!
I have been seeing a lot of stuff online about how competitive these programs are to get into. I want to get into one of these programs, and I thought I had a decent chance. Looking at statistics online really demotivated me tho. I list my application highlights.
Grade 11(Top 6) GPA: 97.2
Grade 11(including English) : 96.5
EC's:
First Robotics Team(3 years):
- Won the Impact award at DCMP (most prestigious award in the country for FRC)
- Involved in and led some outreach events impacting 344,267 individuals
-Lead autonomous software development on my team
SHAD program:
-Won best overall solution pitch in my division.
Paid Software Engineering Internship(2months):
-Create a relational database to manage 5g network traffic
- pretty competitive, only two companies in my area offer tech internships for high schoolers
Vex Robotics(2 years):
- Software team lead
Spirit of Math(5 years):
- Honours every year I participated
Waterloo Math Contest(Pascal,Caley,CEMC,CCC,Avagadro,Euclid,Fermat)
- got a distinction in all of them (not sure it matters tbh)
School:
- Silver Medal every year
Open Source Dev(4 years):
- contributed to 30 repos
-500 commits

I was thinking of applying to computer engineering. What do you guys think my chances are if I do early admissions for both? My main question is whether it's worth it for me to do early admissions or if it's a waste of time given my stats. I prob have a better chance at getting into Waterloo since I heard it's more about grades than UofT.
im looking for gr 11 resources, for chem/math/physics!! thanks
Hi everyone im going into grade 11 in September and i want to maybe got into engineering or finance. Do u recommend extra curriculars telated to those tgar i can do to gain experience and will look good for uni im leading towards engineering please help me out.
I’m going into grade 11 after summer, and i’m hoping to get into UBC, UofT, really any university I am interested in, but more particularly UBC science (bio, biochem, or medical sci), and go to med school after. I don’t have a lot of extracurriculars, especially this summer (or last summer…), aside from volunteering at an awareness festival, volunteering at a summer camp for 2-3 weeks, and going to drums lessons. I just don’t feel like I have enough to really build my resume for college. I am planning on volunteering at a hospital in September, and I hope to do a research program before grade 12. What else should I do before summer ends, during grade 11, summer before grade 12, and during grade 12?
