How to make a study plan you’ll stick to
A good study plan is realistic, specific and built around your exam dates. Here’s a simple method that works for high school and university.
1. Write down every deadline
List exams and assignment due dates for the next 4–8 weeks. Count backwards from each one.
2. Break each subject into topics
Use your syllabus or past papers. “Study chemistry” is too vague; “balance redox equations” is something you can finish.
3. Rate each topic
Mark topics red (don’t get it), amber (shaky) or green (confident). Red topics get the most time.
4. Schedule short, focused sessions
- Work in 25–50 minute blocks with short breaks.
- Mix subjects across the week instead of cramming one.
- Put the hardest topics at the time of day you focus best.
5. Build in review
Revisit each topic a few days later and again the next week. Test yourself with practice questions rather than re-reading — active recall is what makes things stick.
6. Leave slack
Keep one or two empty slots a week. Plans fail when one missed day knocks everything over.
