Study planning for premed, engineering, and IB

Premed: labs + dense reading

• Tags: Bio (labs), Chem (problem sets), MCAT review.
• Blocks: 50/10 focus blocks for readings; 90-minute lab writeups.
• Grade tracking: Enter quiz/exam weights early to avoid surprise cliffs.

Use the premed template

Engineering: problem sets + projects

• Tags: PSet, Lab, Project, Exam review.
• Blocks: 90–120 minute deep work for psets; daily 30-minute concept refreshers.
• Notes: Log blockers and what to ask in office hours to speed up sessions.

Use the engineering template

IB: IA, EE, and exams

• Tags: IA (subject), EE, TOK, Paper 1/2/3 practice.
• Blocks: 45-minute writing sprints; 60-minute past paper drills.
• Rings: Watch syllabus coverage rings to avoid lopsided prep.

How to set these up in EstudyLog

1. Add courses and paste your syllabus—let EstudyLog extract topics.
2. Tag sessions with persona-specific labels (PSet, Lab, IA, EE).
3. Enter assessment weights so the Grade Calculator shows impact.
4. Review streak heatmaps weekly to rebalance time across courses.

FAQ

• Can I copy these tags? Yes—add them as custom tags in EstudyLog.
• Do timers run offline? Yes; we sync when you reconnect.
• Can I export data? Yes—export sessions, notes, and grades from Settings.

Quick summary

• Premed, engineering, and IB templates: add courses, paste syllabi, and use persona tags (PSet, Lab, IA/EE).
• Run timers, rate focus, and review streak heatmaps weekly to keep heavy workloads balanced.
• Outcome calculator shows the grade you need next; exports keep all study receipts portable.
