How to create a study schedule for FlexPath?

Creating a study schedule for Capella’s FlexPath RN-to-BSN program is key to finishing efficiently and staying on track. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:


1. Know Your Goals

  • Decide how quickly you want to finish (e.g., 6 or 12 months).

  • Break it down by courses—there are typically 8–10 total, so plan how many to finish each month.


2. Assess Your Weekly Availability

  • Be honest about your free time. Can you commit 10, 15, or 20 hours per week?

  • Evenings, weekends, or early mornings—choose consistent study blocks.


3. Set Weekly Assessment Targets

  • FlexPath is self-paced, so aim to complete 1 assessment per week (or more if you’re moving fast).

  • Example: If a course has 3 assessments, plan to finish it in 2–3 weeks.


4. Create a Template Schedule

Day Task
Monday Review course material
Tuesday Begin research/outline
Wednesday Draft assessment
Thursday Revise/edit
Friday Submit assessment
Weekend Start next module or take break

5. Use a Calendar or Planner

  • Use Google Calendar, Trello, or a physical planner to track deadlines.

  • Set reminders to stay ahead of submissions.


6. Use Study Aids

  • Speed up progress with templates, summaries, and examples from trusted resources like AceMyCoursework.org.


7. Evaluate & Adjust

  • Review your progress every week.

  • If you’re ahead or behind, adjust your schedule accordingly.


Consistency is key—a strong plan with reliable study blocks helps you stay motivated and finish faster.
