Before throwing yourself into studying, you should make a study
schedule. Creating and following a study schedule can help you
concentrate, better retain course material, and effectively manage your
time.
Steps
1
Assess your current schedule. Creating a
healthy balance between your studies, social life and sleep is
important. You can tailor your study schedule to fit your needs and
learning style. Do you need to allot time on weekend afternoons because
you work nights the same days? Could you listen to an audio recording of
a lecture on your MP3 player while sweating at the gym?
2
List all the subjects you need to study. If
you have a study guide or a textbook with review sections, use it to
narrow down what you list. Once you have your list, rank the subjects by
how confident you feel about them. You can note them with least, moderately or mostly. By doing this, you can focus more time and energy on problem areas.
3
Pull out your calendar/planner. Write down
important dates or events that you cannot change (e.g. midterm, final
exam day, your grandmother’s 99th birthday). Now, you can check if there
are times or days of the week you can always study during. For example,
you may be free 3-4 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. If possible, try
to schedule your studying then, because a regular, set routine can help
you get into a studying mindset and into one more quickly.
4
Schedule study sessions in 20- or 30-minute blocks.
Shorter time blocks are easier to find and to schedule than than 1-hour
or longer times. By doing 20 and 30-minute limits, you automatically
create breaks. This way, you can rest your tired eyes, stretch your legs
and maybe get a healthy snack.
5
Write down which subject you are studying in each session.
This will help keep you on track, create checkpoints for the material,
and allow you to organize your textbooks and study materials ahead of
time. If you have questions or concerns about a specific subject, you
have a record of what you studied and when. If you request help from
someone, you can give them context.
6
Stick to the schedule. There's no point in
making a study schedule if you don't stick to it, but it can be hard to
start. Try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar/planner on a
regular, preferably daily, basis. This will help keep you away from the
"out of sight, out of mind" trap. Once you’ve established a routine,
you may start mentally associating certain acts, such as the the opening
of a textbook or sitting down at a desk, with a study mode. By quickly
getting to your studying mindset, you can more easily ignore
distractions and focus on the material you are reviewing.
7
Finished.
Tips
Try to not use technology during your free time or you'll be tempted.
Plan day by day schedules if you are a beginner in time management
and stick to that system for a week, then plan for whole weeks, this
helps to pass the stage of procrastinating.
Did you miss a study session? Reschedule ASAP. You don't want to lose your study stride.
If you finish something ahead of schedule, go back and note which
subjects you feel better about and which you still have questions on.
Accordingly, you can adjust what you plan to study and review later on.
Set an alarm on your phone or computer when you study
Merge things together, if you are making some aerobex, you can hear a
self study audio record, you can even record things you want to revise
in your exams and listen to them.
Don't wait till the last minute. Study regularly in order to only review things you aren't sure about before an exam.
Avoid procrastinating (delaying) work as much as possible.
Be honest with yourself ,put in your schedule what you can do and not what you wish to do.
Use the production line strategy , for example: you want to get your
tools for studying, is it faster to go and prepare some papers then go
and get the pencil, then the book , then ... / or it is faster to get
them all in one go?
-------consult your teachers about the relative importance of different chapters.
Warnings
Don't make it and keep it just on your table, use it. It sounds harder but you can just focus.
Things You'll Need
A
calendar or dayplanner. Now, because you are creating one for yourself,
you should try to look for one that fits your daily life. For example:
If you use a computer or mobile device, consider using an organizer app such as Google Calendar or Jorte Calendar.
Use a traditional planner if you prefer writing things down.
