Essential Tips for VCE Exam Success
We spoke to our 500 tutors, who have an average ATAR of 99.00, and asked them what their best advice is for students preparing for VCE Exams. Here is what they said:
- Create a study schedule: Plan your study time effectively, allocating more time to challenging subjects.
- Use active recall techniques: Instead of passive reading, engage with the material through practice questions and self-quizzing.
- Take regular breaks: Use the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of study followed by a 5-minute break) to maintain focus and prevent burnout.
- Stay healthy: Maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and ensure you get enough sleep, especially in the weeks leading up to exams.
- Seek help when needed: Don't hesitate to reach out to your teachers or tutors for clarification on difficult concepts.
- Use past papers: at the end of the day, you need to become familiar with the way questions are asked in exam format and the best way to do that is with practice papers

Maximising the Benefits of Past Papers
Past papers are an excellent resource for HSC exam preparation. Here's how to use them effectively:
- Start early: Begin working through past papers several months before your exams to familiarise yourself with the format and types of questions.
- Replicate exam conditions: Time yourself and complete full papers without interruptions to improve your time management skills.
- Analyse your performance: After completing a past paper, review your answers carefully and identify areas for improvement.
💡 Pro tip - keep a log of all questions you get wrong during your revision and repeat them closer to your exam date
- Focus on weak points: Use your performance on past papers to pinpoint topics that need more attention in your study schedule.
- Track your progress: Keep a record of your scores on different past papers to monitor your improvement over time.
