Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
Year 12 Students and Families
We have 31 days until the first Trial HSC examination. Don't let yourself become overwhelmed and then end up cramming for exams. Put a plan together to help you nail your Trials.
The ArtofSmart team has a terrific article outlining how to create an HSC Trial Study plan. This modified version aims to help you maximise your Term 2 break time leading into the examination period.
Art of Smart recommends setting a goal mark for each subject. Then, subject-by-subject, develop a to do list.
The Art of Smart team offer an example plan for English:
This provides you with an organised To Do list for each subject. Ask your Year 12 teachers this week to help you develop your lists.
A study plan will help to reduce that overwhelming feeling as we move towards the examination block. It will structure your time so that you do not spend too much time on any one subject.
Use the Term 2 break as an opportunity to practise studying, to get into good habits and to focus in on where your strengths and weaknesses are, so you are well and truly ready to nail the final exams in October.
Follow this link to a Google Sheet to help with your planning. Copy the sheet and personalise it with your study goals.
