Takeaways

• 😀 Start with a manageable number of subjects in your study plan, such as three per day, to avoid overwhelming yourself.
• 😀 Prioritize more challenging subjects first, such as math and natural sciences, and tackle lighter subjects later in your schedule.
• 😀 Always include time for solving practice questions in your study plan; theory alone will not fully prepare you for exams.
• 😀 Ensure you leave time to review the questions you've answered to correct mistakes and solidify learning.
• 😀 Don't overfill your schedule with too many subjects in one day. Quality is more important than quantity when studying.
• 😀 Reserve time for reviewing simulations (mock exams) and make sure to schedule time to analyze and correct them.
• 😀 Do not skip correcting your written essays. Learning from your writing mistakes is key to improving your performance.
• 😀 It's crucial to schedule regular revisions in your study plan to retain information in the long term.
• 😀 If you accumulate too many subjects or lessons without a plan for reviewing, it can hinder your progress in competitive exams.
• 😀 A well-structured study plan, with ample review time, is essential for success in highly competitive exams like medical school entrance exams.

Q & A

What is the first major mistake when creating a study schedule?

The first major mistake is trying to fit too many subjects into one study day. This leads to a lack of focus and prevents deep understanding of each subject.

How many subjects should be included in a study day for beginners?

For beginners, it is recommended to study around three subjects per day, alternating between them to build study resistance and avoid overwhelming yourself.

What should be prioritized when creating a study schedule?

Prioritize subjects that are more difficult or that you have struggled with the most. For example, if mathematics is a challenging subject, it should be allocated more time initially.

Why is it a problem to only focus on class lectures in a study schedule?

Only focusing on class lectures and not dedicating time to practice questions is a major mistake. Practice questions help apply knowledge and prepare for how subjects will be tested in exams.

What is the ideal structure for a study block?

An ideal study block includes a mix of theory and practice. For example, in a two-hour study block, spend one hour on theory and the remaining time on solving questions.

Why should there be time allocated for correcting questions in a study schedule?

Time should be set aside to correct the questions after completing them. Without correction, you won't know if you made mistakes and won’t improve on them.

How should simulated exams be handled in a study schedule?

You should allocate time to both take and correct your simulated exams. For example, take the exam on one day and set aside another day for correcting the questions, ensuring that the review happens soon after.

What is the common mistake when working on written essays in a study plan?

Many students make the mistake of submitting their essays without reviewing them or learning from feedback. It’s important to correct and analyze mistakes to improve essay writing skills over time.

What role does revision play in a study schedule?

Revision is crucial to reinforce long-term memory. Without periodic review of the material, you're likely to forget what you've studied, leading to poorer performance during exams.

How can students incorporate revision into their study plan?

Students can incorporate revision by using flashcards, correcting simulated exams, and reviewing the subjects they struggled with. It's important to schedule these reviews regularly within the study plan.
