How Much Study Time Do You Really Have?

Jun 17, 2015

In this video we look at how much time is actually available for students to prepare for their Trial Exams. 4 to 5 weeks feels like lots of time for study but you will see that assuming a student works consistently over this period they will only have 13.2 hours per unit they study.

Make every minute count over these coming holidays and you will be that much stronger for it when you walk into the exam room for your first Trial Exam.

If you have any questions or comments, please send me a message on basecamp.

One of the biggest mistakes students make in the HSC is trying to avoid getting things wrong.

❌ They delay practice.
❌ They wait until they feel ready.
❌ They leave feedback too late.

Confidence doesn’t come from getting your answers right the first time. It comes from getting it WRONG early enough to improve.

The students who perform best:
✅ Practice questions early
✅ Practice their writing consistently
✅ Get feedback weeks (not days) before exams

🎯 The goal isn’t to avoid failure. It’s to use it, early, so you can walk into exams calm, prepared, and confident.

The students who stay consistent during the HSC?

They’re not more disciplined. They’re more connected.

Connected to:
🏔️Where they’re going
🏔️ Who they want to become
🏔️ What’s possible if they follow through

Because when your vision is strong, you stop negotiating with yourself.

You don’t wake up and ask: “Do I feel like studying today?”

You wake up and ask: ““What do I need to do today to get closer to the top of Mount HSC?”
