Hey UP 👋🕯

As you buckle down and dig into your books and coursework for the exams, FLY@UP encourages you to stay proactive and be prepared for anything!

Charge your devices when and where you can, have backup lighting available, and ensure you can be on campus and use the study venues to prepare for exams. Please use the UP busses (schedules to be shared soon), and use our Green Route when you're studying late at night. Make sure you are vigilant when walking outside campus grounds. Look after yourself and reach out for support!

Be prepared!

TIPS FOR THE EXAMS 📚✏ℹ

To FLY@UP each of you needs to buckle down and focus for the next few weeks. Exam season is upon us and it is time to study hard and reach for your finish lines. Here are a few tips and tricks:

🌈 Use Colour = highlighters, different coloured flash cards, coloured pens, coloured sticker notes. Make the information stick out and stand out to remember it better.

🗣 Revise = speak out loud, make mind maps, make key cards. Go over your notes and information again and again and again until it sticks or until you understand it and can apply it.

🤒 Health = try your best to drink enough liquids, eat enough food and sleep enough so that your body is fueled and not running on empty. An unfueled body and mind will lead to less focus.

📝 Past Papers = find past papers and tests to practise on. Test your knowledge and get an idea of how questions will be asked!

We are in this together!
Love, FLY@UP 💙🌟

Fun and Games for the time being are over - NOW is the time to focus ONLY on your academics for the upcoming exams 😅📚🤓

From 25 May until 06 July 2024 all non-academic activities (activations, events, parties, etc) are placed on hold so that you can focus on your academic work only.

Be proactive, study now and not later, and seek academic support today and not tomorrow!

We are in this together! 🤙
Make TODAY matter.

Love, FLY@UP 💙🌟

📚 PREPARE | ENGAGE | CONSOLIDATE 📚

PREPARE before your classes/tests/exams by reviewing your work, reading your prescribed content, and reading your study guide's learning outcomes.

ENGAGE in your class, ask questions, focus, and get involved.

CONSOLIDATE after your class, test, or exam by following up with your lecturers, going to your exam perusals, and ensuring you understand the work you covered.

The Finish Line is Yours 👏🤙
Make Today Matter!

Love. FLY@UP 💙🌟
