Weekly logs are helpful when creating study plans. These add a more in-depth study schedule in order to prepare for exams and assignments approaching in the coming week. Write due dates underneath the day the exam or assignment is due. Split your studying, by chapters, over a course of a few days to a week in order to maximize study time and efficiency.
