The Exam Skills Workshop was on Thursday, the 26th of September 2024, conducted on both Campus (Sydney) and Online (Sydney, Perth and Hobart). The On Campus Workshop was attended by 8 participants from the Sydney Campus while the Online session had 40 participants from Sydney and Perth. Both workshops were facilitated by Maya Hall, the Academic English Support Officer and Zen Martinez, the Librarian. Maya talked about various strategies in preparing mentally for the rigors of exam preparations. Students were asked to identify their exam-answering methods and given strategies to analyse exam questions. Zen shared the “Best Test Prep Structure” by the “Learning Strategies Center Cornell” and various practical tips in preparing for exams. Seventy percent of the respondents shared that they were highly satisfied with the workshop. They mentioned valuable insights including time management, writing exam strategies, self-quizzing, exam methods, and attempting past papers.
