By Pascal Press I November 22, 2024
Year 12 isn’t just about putting in long hours of study—it’s about working smarter, not just harder. To truly excel, it's crucial to have a strategic approach. Begin by evaluating your strengths and weaknesses across subjects. This self-awareness allows you to tailor your study plan to address areas of improvement while reinforcing your strengths. Early preparation, combined with consistent effort, will pay off exponentially as the year progresses.
A critical component of success is having a clear, actionable study plan. Map out your goals, prioritise tasks, and stick to a timetable. It’s not just about the hours you spend studying, but about staying focused, organised, and efficient.

Goal setting is one of the most powerful strategies to stay motivated and on track throughout Year 12. To start, define your long-term objectives—whether that’s your desired ATAR, a specific university course, or career path. From there, break these large goals down into smaller, more manageable milestones. These milestones could include mastering specific topics, achieving certain practice exam scores, or improving your time management.
It’s essential to balance ambition with realism. Set challenging goals that push you to work hard, but ensure they are achievable with consistent effort. Regularly revisit and adjust your goals as needed, taking into account your progress, exam dates, and any changes in your circumstances. Flexibility is key—sometimes, things won’t go as planned, but with resilience and adaptability, you can adjust and stay focused on your path forward.
