Help Your Teen Set a Study Schedule

Students don't have to study at the same time every day. But having and following a schedule is the most effective way to ensure that schoolwork and studying gets done—and done well.

It's best if your teen creates the schedule. Students are more likely to stick with schedules they make themselves.

Suggest that your teen:

• Put all commitments on a calendar to help visualize the time available. When scheduling, your teen should make school responsibilities a priority.
• Be realistic about the amount of time needed to complete each task.
• Select times to work and study when fatigue won't be an issue.
• Schedule the same minimum length of study time every day. If it isn’t needed for assignments, your teen can use it to review or read ahead.
• Plan ways to avoid distractions, such as digital activities not related to the assignments.
