Libraries offer support in evening over exams

Using a study timetable in the lead-up to the exam, will help you ensure all subjects are revised.
Don’t forget to include time for exercise and relaxation in your timetable as these will help you manage the study and the exams themselves.
It’s not unusual to feel anxious on exam day. The best way to deal with this is to be familiar with the exam format – length of time, number and form of questions and topics being assessed.
You can do this by reviewing previous exams.
Try and arrive at least 15 minutes early for your exam and make sure you have the equipment needed and allowed for that exam.
Once you can start writing, jot down everything filling your brain that you think you might forget on a blank page of the exam paper – this will allow you to concentrate on one question at a time.
It can be helpful to start with an ‘easy’ question first to settle any nerves.
Leave the hardest questions for the middle of the exam time so you can tackle it when you’re on a roll.
And, don’t forget library spaces are always open and available for studying, with some exclusive zones just for HSC students.
Bankstown Library and Knowledge Centre will open exclusively for HSC students on Wednesdays, 8pm-10pm, until October 25. As well as all the library, HSC resources and online databases, students will have access to free food and plenty of health and well-being activities and resources.
Dedicated quiet study spaces will also be on offer at: Chester Hill Library and Knowledge Centre on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3-8pm, until November 2; Lakemba Library and Knowledge Centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5-8pm, until October 19; and Riverwood Library and Knowledge Centre on Wednesdays, 5-8pm.
