Q&A for How to Create Study Plans

If you give yourself a reward after completing an assignment or at the end of all of your work, it will act as a behavioral mechanism to stay motivated. However, don't cheat and give yourself the reward when you’ve done nothing! Alternatively, I find when students have a good friend they can study with, this can also help them stay motivated. Again, you need to stay honest. It's okay to get off task at times, but give yourselves a goal to achieve by the end of your study session.

Log out of any of the things you think might be a distraction and they'll be less tempting for you. If there's an icon on the screen with notifications or you have a program running in the background while you're studying, you'll be more likely to look at it when you should be studying. Study in short, 25-minute bursts, then take a 5-minute break. During your break, you can look at YouTube or play a quick game if you want.

Break larger, more intimidating projects into smaller chunks that you can do in short blocks of time. Then, schedule those short blocks throughout the week. Even if you find you can only focus on the project for 10 minutes at a time, if you schedule 2 10-minute blocks of work every day for a week, that's a total of more than 2 hours that you've worked on the project. If you're working for more than 20 minutes at a time, take a 5-10 minute break to refresh your mind so you'll focus better.

Some study planning apps with strong reviews include Chipper, Todait, Egenda, My Study Life, and Power Planner. All of these apps are available free to download for iOS and Android. Some do have premium versions or in-app purchases, but the free version will typically have all the features you need.

If you're not getting the results you want, it could be that you're not studying enough or that the way you're studying isn't working for you. When you say you're studying hard, it's difficult to know exactly what isn't working for you. Look at the ways you learn the best and focus on using those methods in your study sessions. If there's anything you don't understand, visit the professor during their office hours or talk to classmates to see if any of them can help you.

Find ways to keep yourself from being able to access these distractions. If you are distracted by your phone, for example, give it to your parents or a friend to keep it while you study. There is an app for your computer or tablet called "Self Control" that can block sites that distract you.

Get pens, a notebook, textbooks, an exam board and a water bottle.

Try to calm down before you study. You can calm down by walking away, punching your pillow, or even writing letters (that you don't send) to the people who made you mad.

Some ways to do this is to study with a friend, reward yourself often, have motivational quotes, and use a study method that you like to use. If you are a visual learner, you can make posters or draw on your mirror with a whiteboard marker. If you are more of a gradual learner and like to repeat, you can use flashcards and practise every morning.

A well-written study plan is one that clearly state the interest of the student and that enables the student to improve his or her performance. It will indicate the activity of the student with a time frame.

If you don't study, you may not pass your exam which would be bad for your grades.

Learn how to manage your time and take short, frequent breaks to avoid burnout. If you prioritize your exam and study really hard, you should be fine.

You pick out a certain period of time every day for studying, and as you keep doing this, and eventually it will turn out to be a regular daily routine. This will not only enhance your mood to study, but at the same time also encourage you to study more and harder the next time. But in order to do this, you need motivation and commitment.

Yes! Both ways work. Find the method which works best for you, it could even be both. You can also use websites which have pre-made mock tests/ quizzes.

It depends on how hard the subject is to you. If it is hard, take more time to study the subjects. Make sure you grasp and understand the material and don't just remember it. Ask your teachers questions. You can also study with your peers (online or in person). Pay attention during class, and take notes, if possible. Review them daily and, if you can, read the material your teacher's going to teach before class.

You should stop the moment you think of studying. If you don't, then you'll spend your time just by scrolling YouTube and not studying. So stop at the very moment you feel like studying or when you have an assignment to do.

If you are stressed out, you won't be able to concentrate at all. So, go for a walk, work out for a while or play with your pet. Just do something to relieve that stress. But make sure you don't use social media or YouTube to relieve your stress, because it will be a real deal of distraction. Maybe you can listen to pleasant music for a while. And then start studying.

Have a category for each subject and try to coordinate a color to each subject you have. Make sure your different subjects are categorized from urgent to later.
