A study plan is a plan you can follow to complete school assignments, prepare for upcoming exams, or learn more about subjects you are studying in school. Here is a sample study plan.

Step 1: Make a Plan

What school assignments will you work on, or what subject will you study today?

I will finish mathematics problems and study for a science exam.
When are your assignments due?

Mathematics is due tomorrow and my science exam is on Friday.
What do you need to do to complete your assignments?

I will finish the mathematics problems in my notebook and review my notes from class for my science exam.
How long should the assignments take to complete?

Mathematics should take 30 minutes. I will need to study for science for the next three days.
If you do not know how to complete your assignments, which people and what other resources can help you?

I will ask my aunt to help me study my notes from class.

Step 2: Follow Your Plan

Follow your plan to complete your schoolwork or study a subject in school.

Step 3: Reflect on Your Plan

Share with someone else what you did and what you still need to work on.

I finished my mathematics, but no one could help me study for science. I will ask my classmate to study with me.
