Searching for: Best time table before exams (NEET/JEE/COLLEGE/SCHOOL/MPSC/UPSC OR OTHER EXAMS)
What you think of a perfect timetable or routine to follow
30-45 or even 60 days before an important exam? So if you've got board exams or
any other final exams coming up and you're worrying? Right now! don't worry you're
gonna be a super performer because this timetable is packed with everything including
exercise, healthy eating, a goodnight's sleep and a midday nap time to connect
with friends and even to chill out. Before we talk about the timetable I'm gonna
answer three very important questions that you might have.
Question number
one
What do I study? I have limited time available. How
do I decide what I should be studying? Now I have two things to say to you on
this. First of all about thirty to forty percent of your syllabus typically
will get you 70% of your marks. Now it's important for you to go over your
marks schemes and your previous year's papers. Look at your internal assessments
or stuff that your teacher made. Surely she revised just before the final exams.
Look at those important topics and remember they are the ones you must do right
up front.
The second tip
I want to give you here is on keywords. When you're looking
at the mark schemes of the past papers, make sure you note down those important
keywords. The words your teacher stressed while giving you notes in class make,
sure you write all of them down. Now question number two on your mind; how do I
study everything? There is a need to study within this limited time. Now what I
suggest is that, take your course outline or syllabus and break that down into milestones
of 30-45 days or 60 days. Whatever time you have left for your exams put
everything down into an Excel spreadsheet. You could use apps planners or
schedulers. There are plenty of them available these days but make sure you put
down each and every one of those items in your course outline or syllabus onto
your planner, so you have a checklist of all the items that you need to study
before your exam.
Question number
three on your mind is where
do I study? Now I recommend that you have a designated study space that has
everything that you require. Make sure your study place is clean free of clutter
and also noise-free. Make sure it's well ventilated and has natural light. Some
people like to study with background music and some people like quieter spaces.
Once you have your designated space set you're gonna be super productive every
time. You go in there; so now let's begin with the timetable. 5:30 a.m. is wake
up time that's what I recommend. If you want to wake up at 5:00 a.m. or 6 a.m.
you can adjust the entire timetable accordingly. I suggest the earlier the
better so 5:30 a.m. is wake up time. When you wake up wash your face, drink a
couple of glasses of water, have a fruit or a handful of dry fruits. This will
not only give you the nutrients but also the sugar in the fruit will give your
brain a boost of energy. Before you start your day organize yourself. When you begin
your first study sessions take up the most difficult subject or challenging
topic. Mark Twain had once said that you should eat that frog the first thing in
the morning and the frog, in this case, is the most daunting task. This session should
last for about two hours so from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Remember to take a break in
the middle 7 o'clock where you get up, hydrate and get a breath of fresh air
and stretch your legs. Once you've completed this two-hour session you're gonna
feel productive and motivated all through the day. At 8 a.m., wind up your
books keep everything aside and have a clean working space. This will help to
keep your mind calm.
It's time for you to exercise, eat a healthy
breakfast and hydrate. A healthy breakfast should include protein and complex
carbohydrates. A high-protein diet first in the morning goes a long way in keeping
you stress-free, during these last few days of exam preparation. So keep that
muffin away and reach out for the egg or curd milk, oat sprouts, Dalia or even
a nutritious smoothie at 9:30 a.m. Later, sit down with a timer and take up a mock
test or a practice test. Now I've slaughtered two hours for this activity but
you can adjust that depending on the actual length of your own exam. Sit down as
you would exactly during an exam and answer the entire paper in one single go. Once
you finish, put your pen down and get up, hydrate, chill and take a healthy
snack at 12:30. Sit down with your tests and mark it against the mark scheme. Now, this is as important as taking up the mock test; itself marking your test. Finding
out areas of deficit and noting down the places that you need to revise once again
is a winning habit. At 1:30 keep everything aside. Yum… I'm feeling hungry because
it's lunchtime. Now make sure you have a great big healthy lunch and that includes
a balance of green vegetables, fibers and proteins. This may be a good time for
you to check your phone or social media quickly and also take a 20-minute nap. It
is proven scientifically, that taking a shock nap in the middle of the day
increases the alpha wave production of the brains which causes more
productivity and motivation. Now it's awakey-wakey time and at 2:30 we need to sit
down and study again. Yes, I do realize this is the most unproductive part of
the day so I suggest you take up a different subject. In fact what I also suggest
is that your morning topic that was session number one and your second session
which was your paper the mock paper that you did should ideally also be two
different subjects. Now you should either take up one of those two subjects or
a new subject entirely. Now sitting down with subject number three at 2:30 p.m.
you're gonna feel sleepy. So what I suggest if this is the time for you to
study that subject with mind maps diagrams flashcards or even online content
because you're going to actively interact and engage with the content. You're
not gonna fall asleep on your books, however, this is the time to be careful of
distractions. Make sure you turn off the notifications on your laptop or you’re
mobile before you reach out for that XYZ Academy website or any other online
interesting content. This session should last for two hours right up to 4:30
p.m. but make sure you take a short ten-minute break around 3:30. Get up stretch
your legs and give your eyes a break as well if you've been staring at a screen
and get back to your work and finish this entire two-hour session at 4:30 p.m.
At 4:30 we can take an hour-long break. This is the time to call a friend and
clarify some doubts. Make sure you have that healthy salad break with some
proteins and sprouts thrown in as well and also chill. Rest your legs, stretch
them out, hydrate and get a breath of fresh air. The best thing to do actually
at this is to go for a short walk and if you have a friend in the neighborhood
who's studying the same subjects as it's a great time to go for that 20
minute walk and clarify some of the doubts that you may have. Come back at 5:30
because we've got the next study session waiting for you. At 5:30 take up a new
subject. You could possibly go back to subject number one or two but don't
study subject number three that you did at 2:30 or you want to take up an
entirely new subject. Now 5:30 to 7:30 we slotted for you. Once again break it
up in the middle at around 6:30 for a 10-minute break, where you hydrate and at
7:30 you end your subject number four or your study session number four. Now
7:30 is a break time and I'm really feeling hungry. This is a good time for you
to have dinner and also clear up your clutter on your table and arrange your
books. Now for dinner what I recommend is don't go very high on carbs at this
time. Instead make it up with a high protein, high fiber and greens thrown in
kind of a diet at 8:30 p.m. Is your last study session? now this one is
optional it depends on you; you know in this entire timetable we've covered about
ten hours of study.
I know that can be excessive, but I've just made this such
that if you need to study for ten hours you know how to slot that in. If you
don't need to study for ten hours, you can cut out one part of this session or
one part of any other session that you wish to but in this timetable at 8:30
you get in for a 45-minute slot with a 15-minute break and then from 9:30 to
10:00 you continue to study. So this last session that you have, it's important
for you to learn that kind of content that needs memorize anything that you
need to commit to memory and you're finding yourself not being able to do it. Now
pick that up for this last session of the day because when you finish learning
everything and at 10:00 p.m. When you finally put your books down your subconscious
mind is going to work on it as you sleep and when you wake up the next morning
you're going to remember most of the information bright and clear and that's 10
p.m. You need to wind up everything and don't take a long break from there. Don't
get into social media or television. 10:00 p.m. is not the time to engage in
any screen time activity; so wind yourself down listen to some soft music turn
the lights down in your room and go off to bed so that way from 10:00 p.m. to
5:30 a.m. You've got a good seven and a half hours sleep. You've also got a
20-minute nap during the day. We've got our 10 hours of studies which I know
could be excessive for some of you but you can modify the timetable to suit
your requirements. Make sure you do a lot of healthy eating. You must have your
fibers and a high protein diet and make sure your carbs are complex carbs like
oats or whole wheat or Java or bajra or whatever grains you get locally in your
area. Make sure their complex carbs eat well keep your mind peaceful
stress-free and wish you all the best for your exams. If you need help in relation
