when students think about their study schedules, they most often try to stick to that schedule as much as possible. and that\u2019s great \u2013 after all, committing to your schedule will help you meet goals by their original deadlines and stay up-to-date with all of the milestones you need to hit in your study plan. but you should never be so caught up with your study schedule that you become rigid with it. a little bit of flexibility can be key to helping you increase your chances of test-day success. how? <\/p>\n

flexibility allows you to live your life<\/h3>\n

sometimes the unexpected happens. your best friend needs you for a four-hour ad hoc counseling session because she got into an argument with her parents, or your boss needs to talk to you after work, which cuts into your planned evening study session. it\u2019s completely acceptable to have some leeway in your schedule to account for these types of things. feel free to modify your study schedule accordingly by adding study hours to another day or modifying your weekly goals a little. just make sure there are limits in place so you don\u2019t always get caught up with \u201clife events\u201d every day. <\/p>\n

it helps you work studying into your regular schedule<\/h3>\n

now, let\u2019s say you want to study for at least two hours every day. and since you happen to be a morning person, you tell yourself that studying in the mornings before classes start is the best way for you to learn. but what if your alarm doesn\u2019t go off, or you had to stay up late the night before for an upcoming project? it\u2019d be easy to tell yourself that you no longer have a free hour in your day, so you can just pick back up with your studies the next morning. flexibility enables you to work 20 minutes in whenever you can find the time \u2013 let\u2019s say 20 minutes before lunch, another 20 minutes after classes, and 20 minutes before bed. you\u2019re still getting a full hour\u2019s worth of studying in for the day, just in smaller chunks than you\u2019d originally planned for. flexibility can let you stay on track, in this case.<\/p>\n

flexibility helps you stay motivated<\/h3>\n

some days, when life gets hectic, it can be impossible to study effectively or efficiently. and on those kinds of days, students who stick with very rigid schedules often think they\u2019ve failed in some way \u2013 that they\u2019ve fallen short of their study goals, and that nothing can be done about it. building flexibility into your study schedule puts a positive spin on the inevitable snag that occurs here or there, which in turn helps keep you focused and motivated!<\/p>\n
