HSC Exam preparation
Tips for the exam room:
1) Take a couple minutes of quite breathing before the exam to remain calm and focused for the exam
2) Take time during the exam to stop, recalibrate and know you are ok
3) Don’t stress if you struggle with questions, everyone sits the same exam so they will also struggle with those questions
4) Stay hydrated before and during your exam
5) Get a good nights sleep before the exam and enjoy a healthy breakfast

Start of year 12 preparation
Starting Year 12 can be a scary but fulfilling time. We recommend that you take time to prepare for the year ahead. To do this these holidays we recommend you:
- Revise year 11 math content - a total of 40% of your year 12 final exam can be year 11 content
- Physics, chemistry and biology - understand validity, reliability, accuracy and precision! this will be retested over and over this year. Have a look at your syllabus - links to these are included on our website.
- Science extension - now is your chance to get ahead, find a topic that interests you, start reading scientific review papers using google scholar. Brainstorm experiments for your research topic of interest so you can hit the ground running.
Take time to recharge mentally these holidays as well.
