Study Plans

Ask Dr. Olivia for a study plan and she will build one with you — then remember it. It stays on your record between sessions, she opens on the part you have reached, and she updates it as you work through it.

Asking for one

Just ask, in your own words. The more she knows about the shape of it, the more useful the plan:

• "My biochem exam is in two weeks and it's mostly acid-base buffers. Can you build me a five day plan?"
• "I'm sitting Step 1 in May. Can we map out the next five months?"
• "I've got three days before this quiz. What should I prioritise?"

Tell her what you are preparing for, roughly when it is, and how much time you have. She will work backwards from the date.

She remembers it

You do not have to save it, screenshot it, or paste it back next time. The plan is kept with the rest of what she remembers about you, and it is the one thing she always has in front of her, so a new session opens on the next step rather than asking what you would like to do.

Telling her where you are

Say it plainly and she will update the plan:

• "I finished day one already, let's move to day two"
• "I did the buffers section with my tutor, skip ahead"
• "I'm behind, I only got through half of day three"

She keeps one plan at a time rather than a pile of them, so a plan you revise stays the plan. Nothing is lost when it changes.

Changing or replacing it

Ask for a new plan whenever the situation changes: the exam moved, the syllabus was different from what you expected, or the first plan was not working. She will replace the old one rather than adding a second, so there is never a question of which plan is the plan.

What a good plan looks like

She will usually give you phases rather than a fixed timetable, because she does not know which days you are free. A five day plan is five days of work to fit into the time you have, not five consecutive dates.

Most plans move the same way: build the foundation first, then strengthen the weak parts, then shift to exam-style practice under time pressure, then simulate and consolidate. If yours does not fit that shape, say so and she will adjust it.

For faculty

A plan a student agreed with Dr. Olivia is visible to her in every session, so a student who tells you they are working to a plan is working to something she is actively tracking. Notes you add to a student's record shape how she supports them alongside it.
