HOW SHOULD YOU PLAN FOR STUDIES?

If you are aiming to write examinations , say in November next year ,look at how many months you have between now and then.Then draw up a study plan so that you will have enough time  to study each chapter,including the end of chapter assignments, and to revise all your work for the exam.The table below may be useful for you to keep track of where you are in your studies.Tick each block as you have completed the work.                                   Try to fit in studt time whenever you can - if you have half an hour free in the evening after work,spend that time studying.Every half hour counts!Each chapteris divided into sections, so that you can study a section and then have a break before going on the next section .lf you find your concentration slipping , have a break and start again when your mind is fresh.Try to plan regular times  in your week to study , and find a quiet place with a desk and a good light to work by.                                                                                                                  NB:At the end of each chapter is an exercises to 'check your progress'- for you to assess whether you have understood the skills and knowledge in the chapter, and you are ready to go on the next one.
