It is very common for students that work and go to school full time to not graduate when they plan on graduating. In order to help prevent this, it is recommended that students make a very specific plan of how they are going to complete their college degree. Doing this is not very difficult. The best way to go about doing this is to list every class that you are required to take in order to graduate and list which classes you are going to take every semester of your entire college career. By doing this you know what to expect each semester, therefore you will not forget to take any classes or run into any surprises. People that do this find that they thought they could avoid taking summer school classes, but they will end up having to take summer school in order to graduate on time. After you have made your plan, it is wise to go to your academic adviser to get it checked and then you will be done. By making a plan of your classes for your college career, you can avoid having to stay in school longer which can save you money and time.

Study time most likely takes up most of your time when you are in school full time, working, and trying to have  a social life all at the same time. One of the best ways to cut down the amount of  time that you have to dedicate to studying is to find out how you learn best by using the VARK Questionnaire. The VARK Questionnaire will tell you if you learn best in a visual, aural, read/write, or kinesthetic way. By knowing how you learn the best, you can change the ways that you study and cut down the amount of time that you spend studying every day. If you do not have to spend as much time studying you can spend more time doing things that you want to do while still feeling extremely prepared for your exams.
