Hello guys!
Today I'm going to use a simple calendar
to plan my study sessions for three tests.
This is a good way to organize your studying,
and make sure that you are able to comprehend all of your material
before the big day arrives.
For this, you can either use your planner's calendar
or a custom made calendar.
I like to plan my studying at least two or three weeks before an exam.
This may sound exaggerated,
but if you start studying ahead of time,
you'll be able to manage multiple subjects,
your comprehension on your material will be much more extensive,
you'll have plenty of time to review
and reinforce your knowledge
and, finally,
you'll reduce your stress levels
because you've plenty of time to manage your studying
with other non-academic tasks.
Using a calendar to plan for tests
is a great visual reference
so you can keep track of the amount of studying
you're dedicating to each subject.
as well as planning in advance idle days
or days where you can skip certain subjects.
Just grab your syllabus or an index
with all the topics and chapters you have for each subject
and divide them between all the days in your calendar.
For complete visual referencing,
it's perfect to color code your subjects.
That way, you can have an overall understanding
of how long it will take for a certain test and how long you'll be able to study for it.
Isolate the test's date from your calendar
and highlight them, to separate them from the rest of the available days.
Try to avoid studying further that day.
If your test is in the evening,
make a quick review if you have the time to.
If your test is in the morning,
don't get up early to review!
You'll need a good night of sleep
and reviewing after you wake up
will only make you more nervous.
Try as much as possible to avoid studying all of your subjects every day.
But don't go as far as avoiding one subject for more than two days.
That will slow your study rhythm.
Try to coordinate theoretical studying
and practical studying.
You can organize your calendar and dedicate a few days for each subject
(for example once a week)
to only solve exercises
or mock tests
and interpolate those days with more intensive reading.
You can also schedule a study session
where you say out loud the contents for a certain subject.
(two or three days before your test).
When you say out loud your contents,
you get a notion of how prepared (or not!) you are for your test.
And if you leave two days between that session and your test,
you still have two days to review.
I hope you found my tips useful!
