Five Reasons To Keep Going Hard Until The End of Term 4

Nov 28, 2013

With Term 4 quickly coming to an end, there is a tendency for HSC students to start thinking about the Summer holidays a few weeks before the end of Term.

Having worked with 1000’s of HSC students over the last 17 years we have seen the value of continuing to put in the effort despite the temptation to pull up before the line.

Here are five compelling reasons to continue to put in the effort in the final weeks of Term 4:

Reason 1: In 12 months time when you are at schoolies I guarantee it will be SO much better knowing that you didn’t waste a single moment.

Reason 2: Whether we like it or not, the HSC is a competition and these final weeks of Term 4 are your opportunity to race ahead of the pack as the rest of your year(and the rest of the NSW) mentally clock off for the year.

Reason 3: The Summer holidays are long and you are going to have lots of time to kick back, go to the beach, hang out with friends and do whatever you like.

Reason 4: If you can develop the discipline to study despite there being a lack of urgency you will easily be able to put your head down and work hard when you need to in Term 1, 2 and 3. Developing good study habits early is one of the keys to a successful HSC campaign.

Reason 5: Term 1 and Term 2 are going to be extremely demanding in terms of assessments (compared to Term 4 anyway) so it is crucial that you are on top of all work completed in Term 4. Working hard now will take some of the pressure off in Term 1.

Hopefully at least one of these reasons resonated with you and it helps motivate you to keep going. Looking forward to a big turn out this weekend for the Weekend Support Sessions.

Most students will start their year 11 prelims in just a couple of short weeks which is enough to make a significant difference to your exam results if you use it wisely.

The key now is to stop simply studying and to start training for your exams.

In our latest article, we break down 4 Steps to Exam Prep Success:

1️⃣ Know where you stand: identify the topics that need your attention most.

2️⃣ Recall, don’t just re-read: practice producing what you know without your notes.

3️⃣ Start exam training now: get into exam style questions and timed practice now.

4️⃣ Practice → Feedback → Improve: find out where you’re losing marks and fix it before exam day.

You don’t need two weeks of panic. You need two weeks of consistent, focused action.

The Trials are now over for many students… so what happens next..!?!

For many Year 12 students, this is when the post-Trials slump kicks in.

After months of assessments, revision and exam pressure, the intensity suddenly drops. Graduation is around the corner, the HSC still feels a little way away, and motivation can disappear fast.

But Trials are not the finish line. They’re the dress rehearsal and they have just given you incredibly valuable information about where marks are being lost and where to focus your energy before the real HSC exams begin.

In our latest blog, we share our 5 tips for getting out of the post-Trials slump and finishing your HSC strong:
1️⃣ Take a short, intentional break - Recover and reset, but give your break an end date.
2️⃣ Turn your Trial results into a game plan - Use your results and feedback to identify exactly where you can improve.
3️⃣ Don’t wait to “feel motivated” - Reconnect with your goals and start taking small actions. Action creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation.
4️⃣ Move from studying to exam training - Past papers. Timed responses. Essays. Feedback. Corrections. Make your mistakes now, not in the HSC exam room.
5️⃣ Use the support around you - The HSC CoWorks Teachers, Coaches, HSC Markers and subject experts can provide the structure, accountability and feedback you need through the final stretch.

There is still plenty of opportunity between Trials and the HSC to improve.
