2. WEAR YOUR BADGES
Mr. Tillay doesn’t really tell you everyday that he gives those with their ID badges points with out notifying them.
This is one of the best ways to earn a grade better than a “C” if you are struggling because they cost about 50!!! Points.
Wear it throughout the whole period because you will never know when he will notice it.

Write down as much information you know on the picture perfect section.
Only chose the essay topics that you have the best knowledge on.
