How to stay motivated ahead of the trial exams

Aug 5, 2021

With the delay of Trial Exams in Sydney thanks to the Lockdown, maintaining motivation and momentum to continue your exam preparation is certainly a challenge!

Motivation is the key to HSC success – but it’s not so easy, especially during a lockdown. At CoWorks we encourage students to maintain motivation by ‘staying in vision’. Having a vision means you create a WHY, and having a WHY provides you with that much needed encouragement, motivation, and energy during those long study days and nights at home. Your vision can be anything from beating a sibling, getting a 90+ ATAR, or getting to schoolies with no regrets – anything that pushes you to do and be your best.

 With trial exams delayed by lockdown, staying in vision is more important than ever. So, join Jesse on this video to learn more about what having a vision means and what it can do for your HSC journey.

What a week 🔥 
That’s a wrap on the April Study Bootcamp! 
Focused. Productive. Energising.
Our Bootcamp students showed up every day ready to train and push themselves .. and it showed.
Real progress isn’t built in a single session. It’s built through consistency, accountability, and being surrounded by the right people.
Proud of every student who committed to the process this week. This is how momentum is created. 🚀
