My name is Lieve.
I'm happy... to glad... I'm at RMIT.
Yeah I've just got little bits to do and I'm done.
I want to do an arts exam. Arts exam sounds really fun.
Survival tip? I guess study beforehand and drink some tea, keep calm.
Time management, I'd say.
If you make mistake, it's your learning curve, so I always tell them, it's a big learning
curve, so don't be worry about it.
I've got a big book and it's like that, it's like a mini whiteboard. But it's a book and
I just write everything in it.
I think you really need to prepare earlier, not just during the exam period.
Study tips?
Make good friends. 'Cause it you're going to be working with people, you're going to
be seeing them like 20 hours a week, you want to be friends with them that's for sure.
I guess just research, like when you do design course, they really stress researching other
artists and inspirations.
Always have a bowl of fruit or just like a trail mix next to you and just eat at that
while you keep working.
Manage your work time and your leisure time adequately.
Re-writing things. Just keep re-writing it.
Wake early in the morning. Or just wake up in general.
I think not stressing about them is a good step, as if you stress about them you basically lose interest.
Use your own words while re-writing it.
Use the library. The library facilities are good. The study areas, you really get into
the zone there 'cause it's quiet. So yeah, definitely recommend the library also.
I prefer to study alone first and then share it with other people.
Find like a nice space that you like to study in, so this one's pretty cool, yeah.
Maybe be prepared, you know like in a few months in advance.
Treat it like a normal university day. So normally I come here for class at 9 O'clock
and try to fit all my classes in before I leave at 2, so I do the same thing for study.
I don't know if I would have any. I'm always like really time pressured, so time pressure
always really works for me.
Do it early. Just do it early.
Just ask your tutor, just write them an email, and they're very generous actually.
I guess just take time out to do other things as well. Not focus solely on that but obviously
it takes up a lot of time.
Also use the facilities. The help that you get here, with the, you know to get help with
the writing essays, even to learn how to research, is really valuable. So I'll recommend using that.
To start studying earlier. I'll definitely be taking this one on next time.
Try to stay healthy, I guess, and don't fail, that's the biggest thing, yeah.
Oh wow...
Lots of research because research helps you to know more about what you are going to do,
then you will not getting the wrong information into your assignment.
Be prepared and relax.
Don't cram. Prepare at least four to five days ahead of your first exam.
Everyone's just fanging it for themselves I think. Go to class!
It's taken me three and half years to figure this out, get your notes done within a month
before the exam and then there's not late nights, no stress.
Anything that will keep you organised. So any project management tool that works for
you. I know Rhys' got flow charts...
Make sure you have each week sorted before you advance into next week, that's all I've
been plugging.
Sleep a lot and eat a lot, and make sure you like plan what you're going to do.
Definitely time management. I mean it all gets down to not letting everything pile up
until the last moment.
The cramming thing sucks. You know, if everything gets pushed to last minute, not as much absorption.
I wish I'd spent more time being clear on what's on the exam, what's relevant, rather
than studying irrelevant things.
Make a lot of coffee and plan your day out before you begin.
Always be pro-active in class when taking notes and that way you'll be best prepared
for your test.
