Maintaining a high WAM

Mm I’m not quite sure what you’re asking, but I guess I didn’t find my first year too scary or difficult. I went into science after a gap year, so I hadn’t studied chem or bio for 1-2 years. But the transition into uni was relatively smooth, even given everything was online. The professors and tutors were kind and helpful (if you asked for it) and there was tons of support and resources available.
I don’t really remember doing a research assignment (I think we had a group project – but it wasn’t too strenuous, and you just address the clearly laid out criteria). I’m sure if you have a genuine interest in science, you will find the degree enjoyable and its super flexible, so you can pick new subjects or stay in your comfort zone.
With GPA/WAM, on top of the above advice, identify how you study – whether it be through note taking, diagrams or teaching yourself, don’t hate studying – take an interest in what you’re learning and use your time effectively – I tend to give myself 2 specific goals to complete within an hour.
I guess my final tip would be - go in with a positive mindset, thinking you are going to enjoy learning and will consequently do well and don’t be intimidated by the degree.
