What is the best study time table?

 Planning  a  Better  Study  Schedule 1.  PLAN  A  SCHEDULE  OF  BALANCED  ACTIVITIES.      College  life  has  many  aspects.  Some  of  the  most  common  are  fixed:  EATING,  CLASSES,  CAMPUS   ORGANIZATIONS,  WORK,  and  CHURCH.  Many  are  flexible:  SLEEPING,  STUDYING,  RECREATION,  PERSONAL  (errands,  family,  laundry). 2.  PLAN  ENOUGH  TIME  FOR  STUDYING  EACH  SUBJECT.      Most  college  classes  are  planned  to  require  about  three  hours  work  per  week  per  credit  in  the  course.  By   multiplying  your  credit  load  by  three  you  can  get  a  good  idea of  the  time  you  should  provide  for  studying  in   addition  to  time  spent  in  class.       3.  STUDY  AT  A  SET  TIME  AND  IN  A  CONSISTENT  PLACE.      Establishing  habits  of  study  is  extremely  important.    Knowing  what  and  when  you  are  going  to  study  saves  a  lot   of  time in  making  decisions  and  retracing  your  steps  to  get  necessary  materials,  etc.  Avoid  generalizations  in  your  schedule,  such  as  "study  chemistry"  at  certain  regular  hours.    Instead,  plan  to   "complete  ten  equations"  or  "read  and  take  notes  on  chapter  6  for Chemistry."    Treat  your  study  time  as  you   would  a  class:  don’t  miss  it  unless  you’re  sick,  have  a  family  emergency,  etc.    It  should  be  a  permanent  part  of   your  daily  routine. 4.  STUDY  AS  SOON  AFTER  YOUR  CLASS  AS  POSSIBLE.    One  hour  spent  shortly  after  class  will  do  as  much  good  in  developing  an  understanding  and  memory  of   materials  as  several  hours  a  few  days  later.    Re-­‐copy/type  notes  while  they  are  still  fresh  in  your  mind;  fill  in  the   gaps.    Start  assignments  while  your  memory  of  the  assignment  is  still  accurate.    By  doing  this,  it  will  be  easier  to   transfer  information  from  short-­‐term  to  long-­‐term  memory. 5.  UTILIZE  ODD  HOURS  DURING  THE  DAY  FOR  STUDYING.      The  scattered  one  or  two  hour  free  periods  between  classes  are  easily  wasted.    Planning  to  use  them  for   studying  for  the  class  just  finished  will  result  in  free  time  for  recreation  and  other  activities  at  other  times  in  the   week.  Make  use  of  daylight  hours.  Research  shows  that  what  you  can  accomplish  in  one  hour  during  the  day  can   take  one-­‐and-­‐a-­‐half  hours  at  night.    In  general,  our  minds  and  bodies  are  ready  to  “wind  down”  at  night  rather   than  “gear  up”  for  work. 6.  LIMIT  YOUR  STUDY  TIME  TO  NO  MORE  THAN  2  HOURS  ON  ANY  ONE  COURSE  AT  ONE  TIME.  After  1  to  2  hours  of  study  you  begin  to  tire  rapidly and  your  ability  to  concentrate  decreases  rapidly.    Taking  a   break  and  then  switching  to  another  course  will  provide  the  change  necessary  to  keep  up  your  efficiency.  Do   difficult  work  when  your  mind  is  most  fresh.    For  some  students,  it  is  in  the  morning; for  others  it  is  in  the  late   afternoon.    Space  out  your  study  periods  and  take  appropriate  breaks  (e.g.,  10  -­‐ 15  minutes  after  1-­‐ 1  ½  hours  of   study). 7.  TRADE  TIME  -­‐ -­‐ -­‐ DON'T  STEAL  IT.      When  unexpected  events  arise  that  take  up  time  you  had  planned  to  study,  decide  immediately  where  you  can   find  the  time  to  make  up  the  missed  study  time  and  adjust  your  schedule  for  that  week.    Also,  make  good  use  of   weekend  evenings.    This  "trading  agreement"  provides  for  committing  one  night  to  study,  but  rotating  it as   recreational  possibilities  vary. 8.  PROVIDE  FOR  SPACED  REVIEW.      Schedule  one  day  per  week  to  review  the  work  in  each  of  your  courses  and  be  sure  you  are  up-­‐to-­‐date.    This   review  should  be  cumulative,  covering  briefly  all  the  work  done  thus  far  in  the  semester.    This  may  take  only  10  -­‐ 20  minutes  per  class.    This  will  save  you  time  later  when  you  are  preparing  for  tests/finals. 9.  REVIEW,  REVIEW,  RECITE,  RECITE.    Organize  your  notes  in  a  question  and  answer  form,  and  think  in  terms  of  questions  and  answers  about  the  main   ideas  of  the  material  as  you  review  weekly.    When  preparing  for  exams,  try  to  predict  the  questions  the   instructor  may  ask.    Reviewing  and  reciting  increase  memory.    This  will  save  time  in  the  long  run. 10.  KEEP  CAREFULLY  ORGANIZED  NOTES  ON  BOTH  LECTURES  AND  ASSIGNMENTS.    Good  notes  are  the  best  basis  for  review.  Watch  for  key  ideas  in  lectures  and  try  to  express  them  in  your  own   words  in  your  notes.    Know  when  assignments  are  given  and  when  they  are  due.    It  may  help  to  date  them  and   number  the  pages. 11.  LEAVE  SOME  UNSCHEDULED  TIME  FOR  FLEXIBILITY.  Lack  of  flexibility  is  one  of  the  main  reasons  students  do  not  follow  a  schedule.    Make  your  schedule  and  stick  to   it.    Remember  that  it  usually  takes  30  days  to  establish  a  habit.
