HEREâS THE STEP-BY-STEP:
1. List out all the chapters from all your subjects that will be in the exam
This will make sure youâre not missing out anything during your revision and youâre clear about what you have to study.
2. For each subject, identify which chapters youâre stronger and weaker at
You would want to spend more time on the areas that you are weaker at, rather than waste time on the areas youâre already slayin.Â
3. Identify the subjects you need to spend more time on
Thereâs just that subject we canât really get right, and so even though it sucks we have to dedicate more time to it in our study schedule
4. Is your school organizing revision classes? Add that to your schedule.Â
I usually donât count these classes as part of my revision but usually, teachers would give exam tips that would be really helpful. On those days, my revision time would be lesser, so Iâll make up for it during the weekend by waking up early for example. Add in your tuition classes too!!Â
5. Choose a platform to lay out your study schedule
I first plan everything on an excel sheet because I can edit it whenever I want unlike when I write it down. But after finishing the excel sheet I will write down what Iâll be studying for the WEEK ONLY on my a4 weekly planner from kikki.k thatâs on my desk so I can always refer to it while Iâm studying to see whatâs next. When the next week comes Iâll write on my weekly planner again.Â
Making a study schedule will be vexing and time-consuming but once itâs done itâs going to make your life for the next week or months so much easier. Be prepared to spend a few hours planning. Turn on some nice music, make yourself your favourite drink, and whip out those subjects syllabus.Â
First of all, you spend a heck of an effort to make that schedule. Respect yourself and try your best to stick with it. While making the study schedule, be realistic and not try to burden yourself with too much work.Â
I use this amazing app called âclearfocusâ that basically allows me to set a time Iâll study for, and when the timer ends I get to rest for a certain time. So I could study for 30 mins and rest for 5 mins. Thereâs also a function that when the timer for studying is on, the wifi and internet will automatically turn off which helps ALOT with distraction. If you canât find that app, Iâm pretty sure there are alternatives, SO NO EXCUSES.Â
On my weekly planner, Iâll cross out whenever Iâm done with a block of revision so it gives me that sense of accomplishment that gets me wanting to achieve more.
At the end of my study schedule and when the exam period is finally here, I look through all my tangible weekly planners and see all that Iâve accomplished and feel good about myself, because no matter what, I did my best, prepared myself, and what comes from it is what Iâll get and be happy with.
You should be too. As long as you did your best, you did good.
