3. Press start and switch to the clean view to stay focused.
4. Take a break when the alarm rings and tick off what you finished.

How to plan a study session

Good study sessions have three parts: a clear goal, a fixed time, and a short review at the end. Decide what you will cover, set the timer, and spend the last few minutes testing yourself on what you just learned. Active recall in those last minutes is what makes material stick.

Preparing for a specific test? Try the SAT timer, ACT timer or exam timer for timed practice.
