How university works
AiramPevensie:
Hey, to those who are at uni and working part-time, how do you balance work and uni? Also, any tips on preparing to find work for next year in the midst of Year 12 and before you have access to a uni course timetable? And any suggestions for finding work during the holidays, when all the newly-finished HSC students rush to find part-time jobs?! Thanks :)

Hi, welcome to the forums!!
1. How do you balance work and uni?
Have a day off for you to catch up on uni work and/or chill! So so so important - I can't stress this enough because my uni marks suffered last term as I didn't allow myself time to breathe and catch up!
2. Finding work in the middle of year 12 before uni timetables
Look for Christmas Casual jobs because they're easy to find when you do a quick Google search. Applications start to open around August so if you've finished your trials or need a study break you can use that time to apply for jobs :-) I suppose this answer fits into your last question but try and get in early, and apply for as many jobs as possible to increase your chances of finding a job :-)
Best of luck!

Thank you so much! It's great having the chance to hear from people who've gone through it already. All the best with your uni course. :)

With practice exams, if you ask your lecturer or the main teacher (I don't know how that works :)) will they help you get one or create one for you?
Are you allowed to visit lecturers and ask them for feedback in work and extension tasks if needed?

Practice exams - if they're not already available, I very much doubt you'd have luck getting them to create a new one. Some units will have past exams available from previous years etc., others won't.
Visiting lecturers - more likely to visit a tutor (sort of like your classroom teacher I guess), but they may only be available at certain times, and you may have to book an appointment. Some will be more willing to chat outside of class than others.
