Strong preparation vital to ensure successful results

THE NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) is an important milestone in your life as a student so you need to give it your best shot.

Using a study timetable in the lead up to the exam will help you ensure all subjects are revised.
Don’t forget to include time for exercise and relaxation in your timetable as these will help you manage the study and the exams themselves.
It’s not unusual to feel anxious on exam day. The best way to deal with this is to be familiar with the exam format – length of time, number and form of questions and topics being assessed.
You can do this by reviewing previous exams.
Try and arrive at least 15 minutes early for your exam and make sure you have the equipment needed and allowed for that exam.
Once you can start writing, jot down everything filling your brain that you think you might forget on a blank page of the exam paper – this will allow you to concentrate on one question at a time.
It can be helpful to start with an ‘easy’ question first to settle any nerves.
Leave the hardest questions for the middle of the exam time so you can tackle it when you’re on a roll.
