Make a Study Timetable
Weekly study timetable
By making a weekly study timetable for yourself you will
- organise your time evenly across your subjects and
- see how you are using your time.
Note: Homework is different from study. When you study you summarise and attempt to learn your subject matter.
The study program below is for a year 11 student attempting to study 18 hours per week.
There is a 10 minute break for every hour of study.

Weekly study hours = Number of study blocks x Block time in minutes / 60 minutes
Weekly study hours = 22 x 50 / 60 hours
Weekly study hours = 18 hours
In reality the study timetable serves as a guide.
To keep on track tally the number of study blocks you complete each day of the week.

My goal is to achieve 22 blocks of study per week
This student may have not achieved 22 blocks of study in a week but 16 blocks is way ahead of students with no study plan so don't give up!
"In my first two weeks I studied 16 x 50/ 60 or 13 hours per week. Considering I did very little last year I have improved heaps!"
If you want to push yourself further then set yourself short term goals and reward yourself.
For example "if I follow the study schedule form Monday to Friday in total I will take Saturday off as 19 blocks of study is better than 16!"
By attempting to follow a study plan you will start to develop good time management skills.Think of a person training to compete in a marathon. If they are unfit at the beginning they will start off walking then later on jog for a bit. As time goes on they will become fitter and fitter.
