Coaches' Corner Recap: Time Management and Test Preparation

As we talk to people preparing for their exams, one of the most frequent pain-points is time management. How does one go about balancing studies with normal life?

To address this problem, our in-house exam coaches devoted a session of their Coaches’ Corner video to time management. Melissa and Jennifer looked at time management both in the context of one’s study routine and in the context of the exam.

Some of the common problems explored in this video include:

• How to create an effective study schedule
• How to organize studies around family and life’s stressors
• How to set goals
• How to achieve the right balance between discipline and flexibility
• How to get back into studies after being forced to put them on hold
• How to pace oneself on the exam (including making the most of breaks)

In response to audience questions, our coaches also explored some of the mechanics of effective study such as note-taking skills and highlighting tips.

You can watch the entire video below. And don’t forget to join us on our Facebook page every Wednesday at 12 pm (PT), where Melissa and Jennifer will be taking your questions live.
