Who this plan suits
Someone preparing steadily alongside work or an internship, with time to learn, revise twice and test often.
Weeks 1 to 10
Learn and practise
Work subject by subject. Read with a question in mind, close the book, write three lines, then practise.
- Flashcards due today (10 to 20 minutes) and a short reviewed question set
- Four to five subject blocks with full review
- A weekly mistake-note session
- One planned light day
Weeks 11 to 18
Consolidate
Second pass in mixed form. Revisit every subject through mixed sets and lean on flashcards.
- Flashcards due today (10 to 20 minutes) and a short reviewed question set
- Four mixed sets of 40 questions
- One timed stage test each week
- A weekly review of how your accuracy and sample sizes are moving
Weeks 19 to 23
Mock phase
Full-length papers, in the format you expect, with serious review.
- Flashcards due today (10 to 20 minutes) and a short reviewed question set
- One or two full-length papers per week
- A review as long as the paper
- Targeted repair for the two weakest subjects
Weeks 24 to 26
Taper
Reduce load, protect sleep, revisit mistake notes.
- Cards already due
- One short timed block
- A full day off before the exam
Rules that hold at any length
- Plan light days on purpose after a night duty. A planned light day is not a failed day.
- Do not try to catch up on missed days. Let the plan slide forward and drop the lowest-priority items.
- Review is where learning happens. Read why every option is right or wrong.
- Confirm the exam format in the official bulletin for your cycle, and adjust pacing, not the whole plan.
