The Five Day Study Plan
 

Crash plan.
[B]Start Early:[/B] More than any other technique, the key to performing well on exams is starting early and using short, frequent study sessions. The human brain learns academic material faster and
better on an exam if done in brief blocks of time spread out over
longer periods of time, rather than in a few lengthy sessions. For
example, you will perform better on an exam if you spend one hour
studying each day for 20 days than if you spend 10 hours studying
each day for two days before an exam.
[B]On Cramming:[/B] If you have to cram, try to focus on remembering
the information you do know rather than trying to teach yourself
new information. You will typically not remember what you tried to
learn the night before the exam, anyway, so it is best to make sure
you REALLY know some part of the information for the test. If you
do have a few days, try to spread the studying out so you are not
doing it all in one night.
If you plan ahead, many students have found the Five Day Study
Plan gets good results. Keys to the Five Day Plan:
1. You space out your learning over a period of 5 days.
2. During each day, you prepare a new chapter or chunk of
information, then review previous material.
3. Divide material so you can work on it in chunks.
4. Use active learning strategies (writing and reciting) to study
the material
5. Use self-testing techniques to monitor your learning
Eight to ten hours of studying may be required to get an A or a B on
an exam. This is just a general guideline. You may need to allot
more or less time depending on the difficulty of the class.

How to Make a Five Day Plan
1. Break the material into chunks. If it can be divided by chapter,
use that. If not, make up your own chunks based on the structure of
the material.
2. Plan to spend about 2 hours studying on each of the five days.
3. You work on the material in 2 ways: You prepare, and you
review.
Example of the Time Frame for the Five Day Plan:
Tuesday
Prepare 1st chunk 2 hours
Wednesday
Prepare 2nd chunk 2 hours
Review 1st chunk 30 minutes
Thursday
Prepare 3rd chunk 1-1/2 hours
Review 2nd chunk 30 minutes
Review 1st chunk 15 minutes
Friday
Prepare 4th chunk 1 hour
Review 3rd chunk 30 minutes
Review 2nd chunk 15 minutes
Review 1st chunk 10 minutes
Sunday
Review 4th chunk 30 minutes
Review 3rd chunk 20 minutes
Review 2nd chunk 10 minutes
Review 1st chunk 10 minutes
Self-Test 1 hour
