Pushing Towards Trials

May 25, 2014

As we get into the swing of Term 2, most students are weighed down with assessments and the looming final due dates of major assessments. It is imperative to remain on top of these. Basecamp provides the perfect tool to do this. You can set dates for when you want to have tasks completed and a schedule of drafts and practice tasks to make sure that you are building up the assessments appropriately. Whilst it is important to keep these goals in mind, even more so, we realize that it is only 10 weeks until Trial exams start. These are your mock HSC exams, a time when everything you have studied thus far is tested and an opportunity for you to see where you are at with your preparation for those big exams in October. The FIFA Football World Cup is happening in June and whilst the teams have just been selected, the training to make these teams and compete on such a world stage has been occurring for years. This is not dissimilar from your Trial Exam preparation that involves the preparation to be building up especially in Term 2. This will ensure that you will not be disappointed as so many students often are, come Trial Exam period in August.

At HSC CoWorks, we have a variety of courses available to help you just that bit extra. On top of your usual sessions, we have the option of our Saturday night Lock Downs start next Saturday, 31st March (available for addition purchase, see below) and the Practice Exam periods during the next holidays to get you Trial ready!

TERM 2 STUDY LOCK DOWNS 

The first Saturday Night ‘Lock Down’ is happening next Saturday, 31st March 2014.

To support students to maintain their focus on a great HSC result we will be running optional 4 hour sessions on Saturday Study nights from 4:30pm to 9pm as an alternative to going out. These sessions will include a 60 minute exam style task (with exam conditions) followed by pizzas to finish the night.

The Saturday Night Lock Downs are an additional service to be purchased.

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.
