planning study
Success in the classroom depends largely on good planning.

Students who are not usually include the most intelligent, but those who know how to plan your work, apply a good method of study, are motivated and have great confidence in himself.

The planning of the study can deliver better results and make more bearable the studies, largely avoiding the dreaded moments of exhaustion.

It is not the same subjects keep up to date and exam time devoted to review, to waste time during the course and exams when they try to do what has not been done before, marathon study sessions, exhausting, with enormous anxiety and a good chance that this great "beat" the end is useless (not to condone, nor of course to learn).

Planning is simply the studio for this organization and the student must answer the following questions:

What material must be mastered well in the face of the exams?

How much effort must be done to achieve this level of knowledge?

How much time is available?

And depending on the answers to the questions above:

What daily effort must be made to reach the examination well prepared?

This is to determine the pace of daily study ("cruising speed") to be established from the first day of course (and not the second).

When it starts the student does not have all the information necessary to clarify the daily effort to be made, but as the course progresses it is possible to determine how many hours you need a daily study.

At the beginning of the course is better to be cautious and to establish a daily rhythm of study harder.

As you progress this rate will be adjusted either upwards or downwards as appropriate.

If a subject is being delayed one can use the weekends to give them a "push" and to update them.

The student gets from day to print a cruising speed of 2-3 hours of study (except in certain races that require more) will be assimilating and mastering the courses gradually, without much hustle final and may reach tests with a high level of preparedness.

To take a subject properly prepared for an exam to be studied in depth and once learned to keep those skills fresh through periodic reviews.



Before preparing a new lesson should give you a quick look at the previous and this can be very useful diagrams, summaries of each (lesson 9th).

Once this initial work (the hardest), the student should plan the reviews. Usually three reviews may be sufficient, although not to be taken as an exact number.

The first review after complete Agenda seen in half (or third, if the subject is extensive).

It reviews all the lessons seen so far, trying to get a level of preparedness similar to that achieved on the day of preparation of each lesson individually.

The same review must be done with the second half of the course (or the second and third-third).

The second review should begin about 10 days before the test and will cover the entire agenda that goes into it.

The third review will take place in the two days before the test.

It is convenient to carry an agenda to go scoring all these reviews and also check that will go on schedule in the curriculum.

This work must be done with each of the subjects.

At the beginning of each quarter the student must take a calendar and mark the approximate dates of examinations (the later will be more precise).

Based on those days set the indicative dates for the beginning of each of the reviews of each of the subjects.

This is a preliminary planning will go forward as shaping the course and get to know more precisely the rate of each subject, level of difficulty, the final days of the examinations.

With this plan, the student may reach the test dates with all the subjects properly prepared, pending a final review only.

Have to be very rigorous in meeting these deadlines.

If one is left behind will be accelerated, however, if you are ahead is preferable to keep the front and you will be calmer in the final days.

Finally, note that overwhelmed is not bad, provided you with sufficient time to react.

Overwhelmed at the beginning of the quarter to see that the agenda is too long may be as beneficial as it will make a print rate of more intensive study.
