NEW PODCAST EPISODE: 70 Days to Success – Your Top 3 Tasks for HSC Trials

May 29, 2026

With trial exams fast approaching, many students are starting to feel the pressure. The good news? You do not need to study perfectly to make huge progress over the next 70 days. What matters most is building the right habits now.

Why Trial Preparation Matters

Trials are more than just practice exams. They are an opportunity to build momentum, confidence, and exam skills before the HSC itself.

The students who perform best are rarely the ones who “cram” at the last minute. They are the students who train consistently, stay connected to their goals, and practice performing under pressure.

If you want to walk into your trials feeling confident, focused, and prepared, not overwhelmed and full of regret, these are the three most important steps to start today.

Step 1: Connect With Your Why

Step 2: Train Daily

Step 3: Simulate Exam Conditions

The students who feel calm, confident, and in control during the HSC usually have these 3 things in common:
✅ Strong systems and behaviours
✅ Clear routines
✅ Proactive organisational habits

Here are 10 study habits that will genuinely make a difference and the best part?!? These habits don’t need to start in Year 12. The earlier students build these systems, the more automatic they become when senior school pressure increases.

Small habits → better consistency → stronger results → improved confidence

What a night 🙌

Our Uni Night in Bondi Junction was an absolute hit! Students had the chance to hear directly from our CoWorks coaches about their university journeys, what they study, how they got there, what university is really like, and the lessons they wish they knew earlier.

From ATAR pathways and degree choices to balancing uni life, work, and everything in between, the conversations were honest, insightful, and incredibly valuable.

A huge thank you to all of our coaches for sharing their experiences so openly and to every student who came along, asked questions, and got involved 🔥

Events like this remind us how powerful it is to learn from people who have recently walked the same path 💙
