Study Schedule and Time Table for Exams

Creating a study table and strictly following it could be the competitive edge and reason for improvement in your exam scores. So today, we'll be focusing on creating a time-table to study, for your exams. Decide a time, when you want to seriously start studying according to your preference. It maybe a month or two before the exams, or even three months before the exams, but remember that the more time you give yourself, the lesser effort you will have to put everyday as the workload gets spread over more days. Here the next few steps you need to follow:

Step 1: 

Create a written schedule you can refer to over the course of the time you have selected to study according to your preference. Whether you use a computer program, handheld device or just a piece of paper, make sure you have something with you at all times that will keep you on track and remind you about your schedule. Prioritize classes based on the amount of time you need to prepare for each. If you feel more comfortable in one subject than in others, you probably do not need to study as much for that subject. Make sure you give yourself a bit of time for the easy classes too. Have hours chalked out to prepare for each exam.

Step 2:

Create time for group and individual studying. Pick effective study groups to maximize your time. A bad group will waste your time, so leave it off your schedule. Balancing individual and group studying lets you focus on your weaknesses for each subject. Stay on track by including key concepts you need to review on your study schedule. Planning ahead what you will study helps focus each hour of time on material you need to cover.

Step 3:

Plan study breaks, including eating, sleeping and exercising. Many students study through meals, but you will feel better mentally and physically if you give yourself breaks. Adjust your schedule during the time of studying to refocus your attention on material you need to work on more. Do not add in more time for socializing, shopping or goofing off, which will not help you prepare for your exams. 

You need to stick to your schedule to do well in your exams, and keeping a schedule always helps keep discipline and a set routine for such crucial times. Remember to make a timetable for your exams, and we hope you do well. Here is an example of a time-table:
