Question 6.1, on page 12 of the SET(O) form, you need to provide the date you first entered the UK on HSMP visa. They are not asking you to give the date when you first came on student visa.

In Question 6.3, you need to give the date when you last entered the United Kingdom.

The last entry will be the date you last entered the UK before you apply for ILR. So unless you are planning to take any other trips outside of the UK before you apply for ILR in September then it will be the last date you entered the UK; if this was January 2011 then that return date is what you need to state.

Yes, your last entry to UK should be any holiday return recently.
