I don't really structure it but I make sure that I do everything - so I won't have a practice session without scales, the pieces I'm studying, arpeggios etc.

I had been structuring my practices before my exam, and need to start up again! But I used to learn 2 scales, and do them from 60 BPM, increase the speed by 10 BPM each time right up to 120BPM. I'd do technical exercises, long tones, pieces, and sight reading.

Blimey Nicki...
I play through a few scales from my syllabus, then I sometimes do some harmonics and tone work, and play through pieces...

I don't really practice, I play. If I don't want to play a piece, or don't feel in the mood, I don't play it, and wait til I do want to play it! That way I don't hate/get bored of the piece.
I do practice scales before an exam, I ascend chromatically playing each sort of scale, and aim to do every scale, arpegio, dom 7th, dim 7th in 10 mins.
