In my opinion, checklists are the best; they keep me organized and remind me everything I still need to do without me trying to flip through my mind trying to remember. That can take a whole lot of stress off me if I can have my handy-dandy planner to do all of the reminding.
The checklist I made for my exam has three parts. The first part is all the topics I need to cover. The second is practice quizzes and exams I want to do, and finally the last box will remind me what I need to do and bring the day before the exam. So when I complete a task, I will put the date I finished it in the boxes on the right. I actually started studying before I made this list, so there will be dates dating back to last week. I tried to make it as festive looking as possible, so I spruced it up a bit with some colored markers.
Tada!
