"Peak Learning has been instrumental in their impact on my son’s readiness for the ACT and SAT. His scores have improved dramatically as well as his test taking abilities. The skills he has learned have also transferred over to his classroom work at East. He reads and understands test questions better in all subjects and his confidence overall in all academic areas has increased dramatically."

-Cary L. (Parent)

"I can’t tell you how much Peak has helped me, and I probably wouldn’t have made it through the class without your help. Thank you very much for being so quick to set me up with tutoring, and I will definitely recommend your company to anyone I know looking for tutoring."

-Lauren P. (student)

"Our son Ryan is a junior and has been working with a tutor at Peak Learning in Chemistry this semester. Ryan missed a lot of classes at the beginning of this semester due to illnesses and fell behind in Chemistry. He was overwhelmed by the prospect of getting caught up while keeping up with the ongoing lessons. Working with his tutor really saved his semester. I don't think he would have been able to catch up and keep up with his class without his tutor's help."

Building a Realistic Finals Study Schedule

By Steven Darby - November 4, 2024

As finals approach, creating a balanced study schedule is crucial for effective preparation. A well-structured schedule not only helps you prioritize subjects based on exam dates and difficulty but also prevents burnout. Here’s how to build a realistic finals study schedule that works for you.

Gather Your Exam Dates

Start by listing all your final exam dates and the subjects you’ll be tested on. This will give you a clear overview of what needs to be prioritized.

Example: If your math exam is on December 10 and your history exam is on December 12, you’ll want to allocate more study time for math in the days leading up to it.

Assess the Difficulty Level

Evaluate how confident you feel in each subject. If you find certain subjects more challenging, allocate extra time for those.

Example: If you struggle with chemistry, consider spending additional study hours on it compared to subjects you feel more comfortable with, like English.

Block Out Study Time

Using a planner or digital calendar, block out specific times each day dedicated to studying. Make sure to include breaks to recharge your mind.

Example: Plan study sessions from 4 PM to 6 PM, followed by a 30-minute break, and then another session from 6:30 PM to 8 PM.

Rotate Subjects

To keep your mind engaged and prevent burnout, rotate subjects in your study schedule. This allows you to refresh your focus and maintain motivation.

Example: Study math on Monday, history on Tuesday, and science on Wednesday, then repeat the cycle.

Incorporate Review Days

Schedule review days in your plan to go over everything you’ve studied. This reinforces learning and helps with retention.

Example: Dedicate Fridays to reviewing what you’ve learned throughout the week before exams begin the following week.

Stay Flexible

Life can be unpredictable, so it’s essential to stay flexible. If you need more time on a subject, adjust your schedule accordingly.

Example: If you realize you need more time for biology, shift some time from a less challenging subject like English to accommodate.

Include Self-Care

Make sure to prioritize self-care in your schedule. Proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep are vital for optimal cognitive function.

Example: Include time for a workout, healthy meals, and adequate sleep in your study schedule to maintain your energy levels.

Building a realistic finals study schedule is all about balance and prioritization. By assessing your exam dates, evaluating your confidence in each subject, and allowing for flexibility, you’ll create a plan that sets you up for success. Remember to take breaks and practice self-care to ensure you’re at your best when exam day arrives!
