PERSONAL STUDY TIME
•Many students feel that once they leave the classroom or lab that is the end of study for the day. Class work is only a part of study. Successful students have private study time. A time to go over everything they were taught in the class. This requires careful planning so that all the subjects can be covered. Each student has to determine how many minutes or hours they can spend a day on their studies.
Use Your Time Judiciously
•Preparation for examination began the day you started lectures. Determine the grades you need in each course and apportion proportionate time .This will help you to plan your study time. Is d time ‘m putting in enough to cover all the topics and practicals I have to cover in the syllabus?
•Now that you have all the topics to cover, you can allocate number of hours you want to use to study each topic in each subject and this must be spread evenly so that no topic or subject is left out.
•It is from this, that you will draw you study schedule.
