Developing a study schedule is of utmost importance for those who want to prepare properly for the entrance exam. This allows you to organize time efficiently by distributing the subjects to be studied over the days, weeks and months.

According to Michel Arthaud, professor of chemistry at Professor Ferretto platform, maintaining a learning routine allows the identification of points that need more attention and dedication, ensuring that no content is neglected, especially those addressed in the entrance exams.

Below, the teacher lists 5 simple tips for setting up an effective study schedule. Check it out!

1. Make a self -assessment

When starting planning, it is essential to analyze the trajectory itself. This should be done in order to identify in which disciplines have not achieved the desired performance, the contents in which it feels more difficult and, especially, what has been a ‘way on the way’ that prevents it from evolving.

“This self-analysis is very important because, from the student’s own reflection on his development and the failed points, he is aware of what needs to be perfected and, consequently, what needs to be revisited,” comments Michel Arthaud.

Failures are also important during the study process. “One phrase that has to be kept in the head is: making mistakes is good, because it is in error that one learns. If you only get it right, it will end up having the false impression that you know everything. When you make a mistake and check the reason, the student understands that he can overcome that difficulty,” he says.

Before preparing a schedule of studiesIt is important to set goals for the semester, be it an improvement in notes in specific stories or preparation for an important exam. From this, it is possible to set all objectives of the school period.

“Outline a study schedule without defining the objectives for the semester is not productive. To plan a path and achieve what is desired in the following months, it is essential to know where to go. Therefore, setting clear goals is the first step for an effective and focused study plan,” explains the teacher.

3. Focus the simulations

The simulations are essential in any routine of study, as they not only test knowledge, but also prepare the psychological for the pressure of the entrance exams and help to take the rhythm of the exams, if performed correctly.

“The second semester goes even faster than the first, and what we recommend to the college entrance exams is a greater dedication to the simulations. Timing the test time and correcting each question thoroughly, it is possible to take great advantage of the tests and ensure this bonus experience that makes a difference there. Student only studies For the materials and makes the exercise lists, you can’t have this perspective, ”says Michel Arthaud.

4. Join classes

With great repercussion in the weeks prior to the test, the classes are a great resource to consider in study planning. They are developed as a general review of the subjects of a subject and work very well in clarifying the “loose ends” that, eventually, students notice when the entrance exam approaches.

“The classes are a ‘letter in the mango’ to be used in the final stretch, as they help students get the last questions and review the content they studied there at the beginning. It is one of the best ways to get the final ‘gas’ for exams and perform the confident entrance exam,” says the teacher.

5. Don’t leave the rest aside

With the last months of learning approaching, it is normal to stay Study to achieve your desired goals and notes. However, it is important to remember that rest is equally essential for physical and mental well-being.

“Although the proximity of the tests can generate pressure for students to achieve their academic goals, it is essential to remember that rest is not an option, but a need. Ignoring rest can lead to a drop in performance and health problems. Therefore, it is important to create a balance between studies and rest,” concludes Michel Arthaud.
