Study Tip 1 – GOAL!

Isabella says is that she really wanted to do Physiotherapy. This is our first study tip for success in HSC PDHPE – SET A GOAL! Even if it is only a small goal, have a goal for what you want to achieve by the end of your HSC PDHPE. Whether it is getting into your dream university course, or just getting an ATAR better than your older brother. A goal will help you to stay focused throughout the year.

Study Tip 2 – “Stay on top of notes”

Isabella also tells her listeners to “stay on top of your notes”. This is possibly the best study tip for success in HSC PDHPE. You should always stay on top of your notes and summaries. Isabella went home each day and wrote up her notes/summaries for the day. If you want tips for how to write summaries click here.

Study Tip 3 – Practice Questions

I know I said staying on top of notes was the best study tip for success in HSC PDHPE, but those notes are much more useful when they make way for practice HSC PDHPE exam questions. Doing past papers, doing exam style questions from the text book, completing practice questions from your teacher, or simply using the critical questions in the syllabus.

I know it seems menial, but if you plan to study and get parents, friends or teachers to hold you accountable, you will study well and get plenty of fun done at the same time. Isabella says that she trained every night, studied every day, went out on weekends, but also studied during the day. You can have it all!
