How to support students to thrive from HSC Trial Exams

Now is the time where Year 12 students are getting their Trial HSC exams results. Some will be delighted. Some will be disappointed. Regardless of the result and how students feel about them, they are still only 50% of the way there. They are only half way through the HSC marathon and there is still lots of room to grow. It is now the time to review study plans and focus areas. A strategic way to do this is to support students to do a deep dive of their their results.

I’ve used this template with my Year 12 Chemistry students. After students finish the template, we have a one-on-one chat. We discuss what they need to focus on from now until the written HSC exams. Students also use the same template when they do past HSC so they can continually adjust their study plans.
