DO keep all your schedules in the same place and refer to them each day. Record information immediately.
DO schedule in Blocks of Time. Study Blocks that range between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours are most effective.
DO study for 5 or 6 days a week. That means scheduling time Monday to Thursday, plus one or two days on the weekend.
Even if you have no homework in a subject, DO review your class notes for that subject.
DO schedule time for physical exercise everyday.
DO use any free time between classes, but DON'T schedule your lunch hours for homework or review.
DO make sure that each day has some time that's unscheduled, when you can do as you please. Enjoy that time.
DO be specific about what tasks you plan to do and when you plan to do them. (ie. Learn all parts of a cell vs study science)
DO schedule enough time to get each task completed. Be realistic in your time requirement.
DO say "NO" to your friends. Invitations from your friends shouldn't sway you to alter your study plans.
