So here we are in the final sprint to the finish line...

For those of us sitting exams, there are a mere seven days until the exam hall beckons. I don't know about you, but for me it feels a bit...aarrrgghhh!!! I feel like the kid in the back of the car asking 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' Well, we really are nearly there and I for one am looking forward to getting the show on the road. 

Work, life and study: how do I achieve the balance? Ha! The art of balance…if I were to compare my approach to a style of art, I’d have to call it ‘abstract’. A bit of this, a bit of that and see what sticks. Achieving the perfect combination of work, life and study is the holy grail, isn’t it? If you’ve found the secret, please let me know.

This semester we're following two of our marketing team as they study for their exams in September. Follow them through the semester to hear their advice on studying, using supports, balancing study with work and home life, and why undertaking exams helps them stay at the top of their game.

In our first blog, Jennifer Grainger explains how she took those vital first steps of opening the textbook.
