Making a Study Timetable

Studying for your Leaving Cert is a horrible, icky task. It's hard to know where to start and most people will start finding much more important things to do like clean the room.

However, studying maths for 40 minutes on Monday at 6pm is something that you can do. 

Making a study timetable is one of the most important things you can do to help you study effectively.The basic idea is pretty simple:
  1. Block out the time you're doing extracurricular activities like soccer practice or piano lessons.
  2. Block out the times you really don't want to study.
  3. Pick the times you will study
  4. Select what subjects you will study in each time slot.

 Study Timetable Templates - School Week

To help you make your study timetable we've created several templates using Google Sheets. The more complex ones will help you add up the number of study sessions that you have planned for each subject. Click on the links below to create your own copy of the templates in your Google Account. You can use your St Colmcille's email account for this.

Basic

​Just a simple table that you can fill in.
We use this with 1st and 2nd Year students.

Junior
This template can add up your study sessions over the week per subject. Fill in your subjects in the pink boxes on the right and then choose what goes where using the drop down boxes.

​The subjects are set up for Junior Cert and we use this with our 3rd Years.

Senior
This planner also adds up your study sessions over the week and is set up for Leaving Cert Subjects. It also has pages to create a subject planner for each subject.

​We use this with our 5th and 6th Years.

Ok, I've made my timetable but how do I find it again?
