Managing your study plan effectively involves understanding the features and limitations of rebalancing, making manual adjustments, and utilizing available tools to customize your schedule. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to manage your study plan, including rebalancing, manual adjustments, and troubleshooting common issues.
Adding a Custom Task to Your Study Plan
In addition to being able to add practice sets, exams and additional learning modules to your study calendar, you can also add custom tasks. At the top of your study plan, select "+Add" then "Create" next to the "Custom" option.
Add the title, duration and date in the "Create To-Do" section. You can also add a link if applicable.
You can also add a color-coded tag for more descriptive information, and the task will show up in this color/with this tag right on your calendar!
As you complete these tasks, mark them as complete/incomplete directly in your calendar!
Manual Adjustments
When rebalancing is not possible or does not meet your needs, manual adjustments offer flexibility:
Drag and Drop: Move assignments to preferred dates by dragging and dropping them on the calendar.
Edit Dates: Click on an assignment and change its date in the assignment details box.
Customize Workload: Balance your workload by assigning more hours to weekends or lighter days to weekdays.
Once your course access has opened, you can manually drag and drop the pretest around along with other assignments to customize the plan to your needs.
Adding time off
Your study plan is flexible — you can block off vacation or personal time at any point, and your schedule will adjust accordingly. Here's how to add and remove time off.
Click the + button on your study calendar.
Select Time Off.
Choose the date or date range.
Save and rebalance — your time off will now appear blocked on your study calendar and your assignments assigned on days you are taking off will rebalance.
Tip: Adding time off will shift your upcoming assignments forward, so your study plan stays realistic and manageable around your schedule.
