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.

Studying for exams can be challenging.. especially when you don’t remind yourself of WHY you’re putting in the long hours and the hard work..

Year 11 exams are often the first time students realise something isn’t quite working.
❌Hours of study.. Still forgetting everything in the exam.
❌Understand it at home...But freeze under pressure.
❌Trying hard...But overwhelmed balancing every subject at once.
The reality is that succeeding isn’t just about working harder. It’s about learning how to prepare, how to study, and how to perform when it matters.
At HSC CoWorks, we coach students to build the habits, confidence and exam skills they’ll rely on for their Year 11 exams and throughout Year 12.

When students think about preparing for Year 12, they often picture buying new stationery, organising folders, or enjoying one last holiday before the “real work” begins. The reality is that the students who thrive in Year 12 don’t wait until the first day of school to get organised. They start before the year even begins. While many Year 11 graduates spend the holidays doing a very minimal amount, the highest-performing students use that time to build a foundation that gives them confidence, clarity and momentum from the very first week.
