Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their work pile up until the last possible moment. Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves, they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be. According to the author, what is the most widespread problem in study? A Lack of a systematic plan for study. B Failure to keep to a set study timetable. C Distractions of routine activities from study.
