Before your exams, take some time to familiarise yourself with the Assessment and Exams webpage. This resource offers up-to-date information and guidance on the University’s assessment and exam policies and procedures.

We understand that exams can be stressful and nerve-racking, but here at ANU, you have a wealth of helpful resources available to you. One of the most important things you can do for academic success is to look after your own physical and mental wellbeing.

Creating a healthy routine of nutrition, sleep, and exercise helps set you up for academic success. Remember, if you are feeling overwhelmed, support is available. Contact Student Support - Health, Safety & Wellbeing.

Good luck everyone – you’ve got this.
