Make a reference sheet with separate lists for each subject. This reference sheet is used to orient your daily studying.
List the material you need to study for each subject. Be more specific than you would be on a study schedule and make sure you put down everything you need to go over.
On your schedule, highlight the exam dates and deadlines and put down any relevant information.
Using your reference sheet, assign certain material to go through each day.

Scheduling tips
- If you havenât been working on study material throughout the semester; schedule days before your study leave to work on study sheets for revision, flash cards, summaries, whatever you use to study.
- Take a day to gather your study material before your study leave begins. Like the weekend classes end or so. This will save you a lot of time when you sit down to study every day.
- Schedule your studying so that you start studying for the last final first, and the first final last. Make sure you start this early enough to give yourself time to revise for the subjects you need to.
- If you have a day between each of your finals, take the night of the final off and revise for the next exam the day after. If not, take the couple of hours after your exam off then revise for the next one.
- Schedule the harder/heavier material in a subject first, so that you work on that material when you have more energy.
- If youâre taking subjects that you have difficulty with, or subjects with a heavy workload; schedule catch up days. However, donât let that encourage you to slack off. Try to stick to your schedule and only rely on the catch up days if you really need to, and if you donât; then itâs a day off!
- Also, schedule days off⦠a day or if you canât afford it, half a day. I canât stress how important it is to take time for yourself, itâll help you avoid burnout.
