It\u2019s Trimester 2 exam season and Griffith Library has some tips on how hard work and persistence can make that \u2018Good luck with exams!\u2019 a sure result.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The basics:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you take a look at <\/span>your timetable<\/span><\/a> as <\/span>exam and assessment dates<\/span><\/a> may differ depending on your school and subject. We also suggest double checking the day before to ensure you have everything you need for the exam.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who may need different accessibility to their exams, contact our <\/span>Student Accessibility and Disability<\/span><\/a> team or see if you can <\/span>request an online exam<\/span><\/a> as an alternative.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that the administrative work is out of the way, here\u2019s a quick overview of some tips to increase your \u2018luck.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start early – begin studying as soon as possible to make sure you can review all the material you\u2019ve learnt through the trimester. <\/span>Cramming last minute<\/span><\/a> adds stress, induces mind blanks and affects your sleep \u2013 which is the opposite of helpful on exam day.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Create a study schedule instead of <\/span>just winging it<\/span><\/a> – plan out study sessions for each subject to make sure all your bases are covered. Use our <\/span>online study planner<\/span><\/a> to help you prioritise and visualise your studies amongst the activities in your life.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Break it (<\/span>chunk it<\/span><\/a>) down – break down a whole trimester worth of material into smaller, more manageable chunks. Don\u2019t hesitate to work with our <\/span>Study Support Student Mentors<\/span><\/a> or attend <\/span>Peer-Assisted Study Sessions<\/span><\/a> if you need help.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Know yourself \u2013 take a <\/span>quiz<\/span><\/a> to see what type of student you are. Do you have negative self talk? Are you better with numbers, stories? How do you best learn?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Check out some of the Griffith Library resources on exams, such as <\/span>The Study Skills Handbook<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Exam Success<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Passing Exams for Dummies<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
