Succeed - Personal Journey

Perhaps you're aware of growing confidence as a student. You might be pleased with your discoveries and achievements. Or you may be disappointed with some of your results.

You'll probably still have quite a lot of work with assignments. Encourage yourself and your classmates. You're nearly there.

Study outside class could take priority for a few weeks. You might like to pause and take stock. What's your plan? What strategies might work? How will you prepare for your exams?

Quite often first year students feel stressed about exams. Click here for some last minute exam prep tips and ways to relax. For a laugh about preparing for exams, watch this video on youtube.

Some students will find themselves off track. That's ok. Seek support so you can re-assess. It's still possible to withdraw from courses until the last day of semester. Consult your course coordinator and Hubs staff.

Before next semester begins, you might take a moment to review your experience of first semester. What have been some of the low points and highlights? What have you learnt about yourself?
