The Jacaranda's have bloomed!

But it is never too late to start!

Many of you would have heard the old adage about the Jacaranda trees - once they've bloomed, then it's too late to start studying.

 

While of course, I am the biggest advocate of consistent application across the entire semester, for those students who are yet to 'knuckle down', my message to you is it's never too late! Such significant gains are able to be had in these last 3-4 weeks, and there is a huge amount of support on offer. 

  • Book that appointment with Brian.
  • Ask for extra tutorials.
  • Dedicate those spare mornings or afternoons to a solid study session.

With 3-4 weeks you should all be aiming for 150 hours of study toward these exams and that just could be the difference between a number grade.

A final message to do your due diligence. Triple-check that exam timetable. Get your calculator sticker and student ID sorted early. Look at the ECP's and figure out what hurdles you need to pass. As always, seek support early and my door is always open. 

A final note is that the JCR will again turn into an extra study space for those looking for a quiet option to study.

If there's anything I can do to help, please just reach out!
