My Daily Routine

Hello guys! It has been already a month since the start of the review, how are you holding up with the review? Are you already used to your routine since the start of your review? Are you still eating properly and sleeping enough?

I will be sharing daily routine schedule when I was still in the review class. How I manage my review time efficiently and stress free!!!

Here is a comic strip illustration of my schedule during the time that I still had review class. 

Advance Reading

I usually wake up before 7am, I start my day by advance reading on the subject that will be discussed that day. Reading your lecture in advance can help you understand more about the things you are reviewing.

Refresher Review with a Partner

Usually after the review class, me and E have an after class review session (refresher review) at either of our houses. We often ask one another, which part of the lecture was difficult to understand and find a solution to understand it better.

We usually finish our refresher review at 6pm because we have been reviewing since 10am at CDEP.

Light Advance Reading and Sleep Early

Before I go to sleep, I try do more 2-3 pages of reading (if I'm not that tired from the whole day of review). I usually go to sleep around 9am. I know, for some, it may sound crazy that I’m reviewing and sleeping early.

Because I'm a morning person, studying late at night won’t do for me, maybe for some people studying late at night has a bigger advantage for them. That is why I often slept early to be able to wake up early too.

Wrapping up my daily routine experience, my advice for the board takers is that…..

1.               Know yourself

Are you a morning person or a night person? On which time are you more productive?

2.               Be strict with routine

Learn to stick on your schedule and be able to discipline yourself until it becomes a habit.

3.               Make it enjoyable

Try to have variety in your studying styles. Perhaps you could look for a study partner, for me it was better to review with another person than reviewing all by myself. If you're going to be in a group, I recommend that you limit the group at most to 3 persons. Tendency is that more people in the group might also be more difficult to manage the review pace.
