Exam week tips
Minimise exam period stress by controlling the things you can, like finding the exam dates and rooms, the rules about what you can and can't take, or finding good study spaces.
Here is a list of tips and JCU webpages to help you get the grades that 13 weeks of steady studying deserve.
How does the whole exam thing work?
Exams & results
Use this to find out where to go, what you need, and when to turn up. You can also find information about your grades, how to apply for special consideration and how to maintain a good academic level.
Where is my exam?
Students can find their personal exam timetables in StudentsOnline, and Campus maps to help locate exam rooms.
You could even do a visit beforehand to make sure you have the right room. There is usually a blue sticker above doorways with the building and room number on it.
What is my lecturer going to ask?
Past examination papers
Reserve Online is JCU's central repository for past exam papers. A link called Readings & Past Exams is also located in the centre of the Library homepage .
Where can I study in peace?
Library opening hours during exams.
The libraries in Townsville and Cairns have designated areas for different types of study, from silent and solitary to more collaborative group revision. Both have 24 hour computer labs located in the building and both libraries are open until midnight on weekdays during the exam block.
Feeling the pressure?
If you are feeling stressed and need some help to cope, get in touch with the Student Equity and Wellbeing office, including counselling and AccessAbility services.
The library staff wishes you all the best with your exams.
