How Can ExamTime Help Me?
Your high school years are some of the most important years of your life. At this stage you will be thinking about the university you want to attend, the possibility of leaving your friends behind and the opportunities ahead of you – you don’t want to feel the constant weight of exams on your shoulders too. We want to help you lighten this burden by letting you in on the top study tips past students have used to achieve exam success plus how we can help you apply these learning strategies to your HSC exams.
There are two main ways which we are helping HSC students prepare for exams:
1. Create a HSC Timetable:
Ask any teacher what the best way to approaching studying is and they will tell you that the most important thing needed to achieve exam success is to create a flexible but reliable study plan. Designing a personal study timetable will suit your study patterns, learning style and accommodate extra-curricular activities. By integrating a plan to your study, this will help you organise your study time better, keep motivated and focused plus allow you to spend time doing activities you enjoy without feeling guilty!
ExamTime’s free online study planner can help you achieve your study goals by helping you to manager your time more effectively. The drag and drop feature means you can simply create your HSC timetable in minutes plus get a “Subject Breakdown” to show you where you need to focus your study time.

2. Practice HSC Past Papers:
After you’ve created your study plan, it’s time to dig into the difficult part – how you are actually going to study to achieve the results you want. Practicing HSC past papers is the number one way of ensuring you know the exam structure, the question format and the topic trends for each subject you are taking.
Your teacher will more than likely take you through some past papers coming closer to the HSC exam but it is a good idea to attempt some questions while you are studying a topic. ExamTime can help you do this in two steps which involve creating Study Notes with more in-depth information on the topic you are working on and then building an Online Quiz or set of quizzes based on the material in the Note.
If you’re collaborating with your classmates, you could divide the curriculum between you and share Notes and Quizzes and any other resources you have created with an ExamTime Group.
