The present studies examined the relationship between planning and performance. In study 1, 117 participants answered the questionnaire A and B, and other 102 participants answered the questionnaire B. Both participants took the same term exam. In study 2, 172 participants responded to the questionnaire C and took the term exam. There was no significant difference in the term scores between planners (participants who made a plan for the term exam) and non-planners (participants who did not make a plan for the term exam). There were positive correlations between the length of planned exam preparation hours and exam scores. Also, there was a weak positive correlation between the complexity of the exam preparation plans and exam scores. Previous studies on planning fallacy found that people frequently underestimate the length of time to complete a task. Accordingly, it was expected that participants who study less than planned hours would be significantly more than participants who study longer than planned hours. However only one of the three data set supported the hypothesis.
