Naturally, if you have longer than ten weeks to prepare, your weekly schedule will be broken up dif￾ferently. (And good for you for starting ahead of time!) You may want to work on all your skills each

week, making progress simultaneously on all fronts. That is fine too. Adjust the schedule accordingly.

Your schedule will also be different if you have less than ten weeks, or if you are a whiz with numbers,

but have trouble with analytical writing.

6. Just Do It! Stick to your plan. It is easy to say, but difficult to do. How can you stay motivated? How do

you follow your schedule so that you do not fall behind? How do you keep from thinking about other

things when you are supposed to be working? These are the really big questions, and there are no easy

answers. The following sections discuss some tried and true techniques for maintaining self-motivation.

Now you have to see what works for you.

When Life Gets in the Way . . .

It’s important to stick to your study plan, but sometimes life will get in the way, and you will get off schedule.

When this happens—and it almost certainly will—don’t despair. Don’t let the fact that you have fallen a little

behind cripple you so that you fall even more behind. Instead, just keep going. Adjust your schedule to fit your

new time frame and do what you can to make up for lost time by squeezing in another hour of study here or

there. It may mean you will have to sacrifice some leisure time, but remember what you are working for. A lit￾tle more sacrifice now can get you much closer to your ultimate goal.
