I think it depends on how well you know the material, because that determines often how much you need to spend on studying said material. Are the exams all cumulative? Do you know your study style? I'm not sure what you're expecting anyone here to tell you because an appropriate study schedule for you might not work for someone else here. When it came to finals for me, I had two finals and I spent nearly all of my time focused on Med-Surg instead of OB, because that was the course I really had to worry about. Definitely study smarter, not harder. If you know you know the material well in one of your classes, don't spend as much time studying it if you know there's something you're struggling in and would benefit from studying something else more in depth.

If you don't understand some of the material, use other resources! My studying plan consisted of reading the text first, skimming notes, and then re-reading the text and highlighting important points. Then I answered practice questions from the textbook, the textbook companion website, and my NCLEX practice books and CDs. I did as much of the textbook studying and reading weeks before the exam so I could spend the bulk of my time working through practice questions and making sure I understood the rationales. I did as much as I could every day and if you make flashcards, you can study those whenever. Hope this helps!

1. Get a calendar. Mark all these dates down on it.

2. Each and every day you study, focus on whatever material is coming up on the next test or tests (if they're back to back)...

BUT

3. Also work on every other subject for at least little bit each day (at least 10-15 minutes, more if you can), so when it comes time to focus on that subject for the next test, you're not starting from scratch.

4. Give a little extra love to whatever subject(s) you are having problems with. Don't waste tons of time on Pharm if you have it down cold while your Psych needs a lot of help.

5. And make sure you get enough rest the night before each test.

Hope this will help you--it's how I'm doing things and I can't complain about my grades :)
