    Just wondering how people got organised for the Leaving did you have a plan right from 5th year? How do you decide what to study and when, do you just do it or do you plan it? How do you keep track of your plans?

    Just curious as for me I tend to just make sure to write in my home work during the week and at the weekends I make a study plan for the week ahead. I even plan out when to tidy my desk as the clutter will just build up if i dont lol :rolleyes:

    So just curious about other peoples habbits and just wondering if I could pick up a few tips that would help me and others on the forum :)

    Just started organising myself there recently. Before that my study space was a mess and it was hard to get anything done. Do three weekends ago I wrote a study plan up and am sticking to it as best I can :D The Engineering Project proved to be fairly disruptive however :pac: Also organised all my sample answers, class tests and notes into ringbinder folders for every subject! Was pretty proud of the outcome because usually I'm extremely unorganised :p

    I was the exact same. You end up spending more time looking for something then you do studying!

    I've made a plan for every subject, to have it all done by the end of Easter but I'm already behind because of the orals...

    I'm a perfectionist so it's driving me crazy! :(

    1. My school gave it to all 6th yr students
    2. The stuff in it is basically a study timetable and a calendar to remind you on what day you'll have to study again
    It's just a journal to help you study effectively (something about memorising the stuff at a certain period will store them in the long-term memory)
    Well that doesnt really concern me, but it helps me to get organise
