This sentence clearly is contrasting Regina and her sister. Regina is a careful planner who seems to set out to do exactly what she plans. From what we can tell, she does not deviate from these plans. A person who is impulsive is just the opposite of this. He or she follows his or her impulses (wishes or desires), often going from one thing to the next without much explanation. Now, this can seem to be irrational, but these two words are not quite the same. An irrational person can also be someone who just can't "think straight" because he or she is angry. An impulsive person is a closer contrast to Regina's personality.

Given the context of the sentence, we know that Marshall had studied a lot for his test, and scored well on practice exams, but still scored poorly.
