Most students will start their year 11 prelims in just a couple of short weeks which is enough to make a significant difference to your exam results if you use it wisely.
The key now is to stop simply studying and to start training for your exams.
In our latest article, we break down 4 Steps to Exam Prep Success:
1️⃣ Know where you stand: identify the topics that need your attention most.
2️⃣ Recall, don’t just re-read: practice producing what you know without your notes.
3️⃣ Start exam training now: get into exam style questions and timed practice now.
4️⃣ Practice → Feedback → Improve: find out where you’re losing marks and fix it before exam day.
You don’t need two weeks of panic. You need two weeks of consistent, focused action.

The Trials are now over for many students… so what happens next..!?!
For many Year 12 students, this is when the post-Trials slump kicks in.
After months of assessments, revision and exam pressure, the intensity suddenly drops. Graduation is around the corner, the HSC still feels a little way away, and motivation can disappear fast.
But Trials are not the finish line. They’re the dress rehearsal and they have just given you incredibly valuable information about where marks are being lost and where to focus your energy before the real HSC exams begin.
In our latest blog, we share our 5 tips for getting out of the post-Trials slump and finishing your HSC strong:
1️⃣ Take a short, intentional break - Recover and reset, but give your break an end date.
2️⃣ Turn your Trial results into a game plan - Use your results and feedback to identify exactly where you can improve.
3️⃣ Don’t wait to “feel motivated” - Reconnect with your goals and start taking small actions. Action creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation.
4️⃣ Move from studying to exam training - Past papers. Timed responses. Essays. Feedback. Corrections. Make your mistakes now, not in the HSC exam room.
5️⃣ Use the support around you - The HSC CoWorks Teachers, Coaches, HSC Markers and subject experts can provide the structure, accountability and feedback you need through the final stretch.
There is still plenty of opportunity between Trials and the HSC to improve.
