Tips to get you ready for the exam room (Part 1)

Aug 10, 2021

Preparing for the exam room 

Being ready for the exam conditions requires a number of steps rather than simply walking into the exam room and miracuously performing at your highest level in your HSC Trial Exams or Final HSC Exams. 

 

The first step to move a student in the direction of attempting exam style questions is to build high degrees of confidence and certainty with the foundational content across their subjects. For students who want to perform at their highest level the objective is to know this foundational content such as their English quotes, syllabus points and other associated content as well as any other student at their school. 

 

With this foundational content hardwired through daily exam training (self testing) a student will have the confidence and resolve to attempt the more challenging tasks that they need to in order to simulate the exam room. 

 

Many students skip this step of developing high levels of confidence with their foundational content and then struggle to move into the tasks that simulate the exam room which leads to heightened anxiety in both the lead up to the exam and in the exam itself. 

Join Jesse and Fergus as they discuss the steps students need to undertake to be prepared for the exam room.

The HSC can feel like it’s all consuming right now.

The assignments. The exams. The late nights. The pressure.

But our Balgowlah coaches are living proof that there’s so much waiting for you on the other side.

From travelling the world, building careers they’re passionate about, studying at university, moving overseas, and saying “yes” to opportunities they never imagined in Year 12 . Their adventures all started with the same thing: putting in the work.

The HSC isn’t the finish line. It’s a launch pad.

Every study session, every practice paper and every small effort you’re making now is helping create more choices, opportunities and skills for your future self.

So when motivation feels hard to find, remember what you’re working towards.

The adventures ahead are worth it 🏔️
