AF PDG Study Tip of the Week: Consistency

Posted on 18. Dec, 2009 by in Blog, Twitter

The key to studying the PDG is consistency. You should set aside at least an hour every day for studying. Keep in mind, the closer you get to testing, the more time you should spend studying. If you have 2 weeks until your test date it would be a good idea to study at least three hours a day. Also don’t forget that weekends/your days off are great days to get a few extra hours of studying in if you can, so take advantage of them.

You should decide how much time you’re going to spend studying and make it happen. Schedule time on your calendar and set an alarm as a reminder. Studying should become a part of your daily routine because the more times you’re exposed to the material the better.

Of course there will be days you won’t have an hour to dedicate to studying. On those days, just do what you can. Spending 5 or 10 minutes reviewing flash cards or quizzing is better than nothing. Shameless plug: Our quick quizzes perfect for these times. They are 20 questions long, cover the entire book, and are only 2 clicks away from this page (if you already have an AFStriper account).
