Top tips from Flinders students to their younger selves as you prepare for exams.
We put out the call and asked current Flinders students one simple question:
“What advice would you give to your younger self.
Here’s what they said.
#1. Put in the effort
Georgina B: Generally, if you make an effort to do the work, act engaged in class and try to actively participate in discussion and do the readings, your time will be much more enjoyable and your lecturers and course coordinators will go the extra mile for you if you need help.
Nicole E: Try to forge good study habits early in the year.

We offer one-on-one appointments with our prospective student team to discuss career options, pathways, and course and entry requirements.
#2. If you need help, ask!
Chantelle M: If you think you need help, don’t wait until you’ve hit rock bottom. There’s no shame in asking for help early.
Kate M: Don’t be afraid of your tutors. This isn’t high school, and it is their job to help you or tell you where you can get help.
#3. Don’t put yourself under too much pressure
Simon H: The only thing faster than the speed of light is the speed of self-doubt. Back yourself, you've got this.
Helen J: Don’t stress about where you think you should be. 99% of people will deviate from their plan completely and end up right where they are meant to be.
There are many support services available at Flinders including the Student Learning Support Services to help with exam and assignment preparation.
Any don't forget there's advice, support and counselling available at Flinders Health, Counselling and Disability.
