How to create a sample study schedule

You may want to create a sample study schedule in order to see how demanding a schedule would be given a certain selection of resources. To do this, click More options and then Create/view sample study schedule. Cram Fighter will take you through the schedule creation process that students use.

The steps required will be:

Choose an exam and exam date

Create a study block

Study blocks are like mini-schedules within your overall schedule. For example, you might choose to create a light studying period (for during classes) and a dedicated studying period (for after classes end). Set the dates for your first study block now. You will have the option to create another study block later.

Catch-up days and unscheduled days

Use unscheduled days to set aside time for vacations or full-day practice exams.

Select resources and study hours

Choose the books, lectures, question banks, and flashcards you have in mind. For each resource type, Cram Fighter will ask how long you plan on studying from this resource each day. Cram Fighter uses the hours you input only to compare one day to another. Therefore, if you select 4 hours on Monday and 2 hours on Tuesday, Cram Fighter assigns half as much work on Tuesday.

Select sorting options

Either go through resources cover-to-cover by sorting by resource, or sort their tasks by subject. If you choose to sort by subject, you can click and drag each subject to set the order you would like.

Review your schedule

Here you will see an overview of your first study block and selected resources. If you want to add another study block, click Add study block and repeat the process. Otherwise, click Finish & View Schedule.

Returning to your sample schedule:

To view your sample schedule again, click Create/View sample study schedule again under More options in the Student Support Dashboard. Currently, administrators can create only one sample study schedule at a time.
