How to Prepare a Study Schedule 

Each week you should prepare a schedule or copy the schedule in the table below and for

your records it should be dated.

Indicate on the schedule:

• the number of hours you need to sleep

• class hours

• personal time (shopping, laundry, transportation time etc.)

If you are not tracking your time, it is difficult to determine how efficiently you are using 

your time. Study at least four to six hours a day during the week and eight to ten hours a day 

on the weekends.

After two weeks of such a grueling schedule you will be able to make reasonable adjustments.
For this to work, you must not be interrupted while you are studying. Translation: turn off your
cell and home phones and remove additional distractions such as listening to the radio or
watching television.
