挑战
哈米什was always concerned about how he would study for Trials. His school sits the exams super early and being the first HSC block, he had no idea how he was supposed to tackle it. Additionally, while Hamish’s marks have usually been high, he has always had problems with juggling work and fun.
在探路程序计划中，有两个主要因素帮助他实施了反弹的新策略，并获得了他的HSC试验：
- His Pathfinder Mentor – Winnie Li
- The Pathfinder Trials Intensive
在这篇文章中，我们将为您提供潜行的峰值山顶哈米什学会，以帮助您准备HSC考试。
Tip 1: Finding a Healthy Balance
For Hamish, knowing when to chill out and take a break has always been a problem.
“My biggest issue has always been balance. I’ve been constantly focused on study and have compromised a few other things in my life.”
He has a bunch of passions outside of school, and a major one is sport!
“I am a huge cricket fan and love playing the game. Whenever I get the chance, I try to visit the cricket nets or watch whatever cricket is being played on TV.”
幸运的是，他的导师温妮在她的HSC期间在国家一级发挥了运动，因此她明白平衡的承诺和激情，同时仍然在学校做得很好！
“她帮助我恢复了平衡，并通过求解计划来平衡运动和我的兼职工作，因此我仍然可以保持高效。”
This was super important for Hamish leading up to Trials as his old study habits just weren’t working.
“After my exam blocks in Year 11 I would just crash. I would be doing so much work that I’d be so tired afterward. Winnie came in and went through my schedule and put in specific times for study breaks.”
在学习考试时必须突破。他们让您免受压力和过度劳累，并帮助您保留信息。
然而，哈米什发现成功也依赖于学习休息的质量。
温妮帮助哈米什实施每天一定的时间休息一定的时间。某种业余爱好或活动也将被分配给这些休息。这意味着哈米什会锻炼，散步或玩板球。
The thing is when you’re doing something like playing cricket, you don’t take a break to relax, it actually serves a purpose.无论是您的学习还是在运动，休息的程度都应该永远存在刷新和缰绳所以你可以努力当你回到它!
But how long should your study breaks be? Find out in this video.
“因为我实施了更好的休息，我没有崩溃。这是因为我已经保持了一致的平衡，准备和计划帮助我保持健康。“
提示2：专注于你的弱点
It was Week 5 of the term, and Hamish’s Trials were in Week 9. He had about 4 or 5 weeks before he was going to be tested on absolutely everything he’d learned.
He thought: “If I knuckle down and really focus I can get all of these topics done.”
“However, 2 weeks later I had done 7 topics worth of study yet couldn’t remember a single thing! The problem was that once I looked over a topic I didn’t have the time to go back and revise it all again.”
He brought this problem to Winnie and she provided him with a simple strategy students can use to identify the information they don’t know and hone in on their weaknesses:
过去的纸垃圾邮件
- 这里的第一步是做as many past papers and questions as you can。A great place to find them is on the NESA website orhere in our resource section.
- As you’re going through these questions, if you find something you don’t know when marking the paper write it down in一个错误的书（This is a collection of all of the question types or concepts you don’t understand.)
- 下一步是bring this mistake book to a teacher or tutorand get them to help you understand the weaker area.
- After this, you need toSPAM the weak area。做一堆学习/笔记，并就你挣扎的特定话题做出问题，以确保你有信心。
- Once this is complete you can return to your past papers and重新开始！
Not only does this technique ACCELERATE your study as you come to focus on your weak areas, but it also helps you get used to EXAM STYLE QUESTIONS.
哈米什says: “At first I took the technique with a grain of salt. I didn’t really feel comfortable trying a new method of studying. However 10 days before Trials I tried it for Mathematics and it worked!”
Every single day Hamish would do an hour and a half of past papers. By the end of one week he’d done 7 years of past papers.
When he finally got into his Trial exam he could tackle a bunch of questions and topics that were similar to the ones he’d targeted in his past paper spam.
“在试验中，我最终得到了数学95％。If I had followed my initial study strategy there’s no way I would have done as well.”
您需要帮助优先考虑自己的学习吗？这是您可以使用的另一种真棒的方法！
提示3：合作和倾听！
As a part of the Pathfinder program, Hamish also attended aHSC Trials Study Intensive.
In this intensive,beplay体育官方智能首席执行官罗文昆兹艺术解释了一堆HSC研究提示，如：
然而，密集的另一个很大一部分从其他学生学习。
在准备考试时，协作可以是一个非常有效的工具。在哈米什的情况下，与其他学生交谈特别有用，因为他基本上走进盲目的试验，因为他们这么早。
“I needed new study strategies, and hearing the group discussion gave me a bunch of new ideas”
