Gearing up for college entrance exams can be stressful, but smart time management helps. Students who allow adequate preparation time prior to taking the SAT, PSAT, or ACT, find their stress levels come down as their scores go up.
Studying gradually can be a tremendous advantage, particularly when it comes to challenging areas and vocabulary building. When students leave only a short while to get ready, the workload is far more intense and exhausting. If you have a tendency to procrastinate, consider the following schedules:
| Student A | studies 60 hours over 12 weeks |
| 2.50 hours of tutoring per week (2 sessions @ 1.25 hours each) | |
| 2.50 hours of homework per week | |
| = 5 hour weekly investment | |
| Student B | studies 60 hours over 3 weeks |
| 10 hours of tutoring per week (5 sessions @ 2.00 hours each) | |
| 10 hours of homework per week | |
| = 20 hour weekly investment |
Wouldn’t you rather spread the 60 hours (30 hours of tutoring plus 30 hours of homework) over three months rather than three weeks? Obviously, Student A will feel less overwhelmed and absorb far more of the material than Student B. So, get a head start, pace yourself, and feel more relaxed as you prepare to face these important tests.
