Who this plan suits
A first-timer or someone starting early who wants the lowest cost per week and the most room to recover from a bad month.
Weeks 1 to 16
Build
Learn and practise subject by subject at a pace you can keep. Build the habit before the intensity.
- Flashcards due today (10 to 20 minutes) and a short reviewed question set
- Three to four subject blocks with full review
- A weekly mistake-note session
- One planned light day and one rest day
Weeks 17 to 28
Consolidate
A second and third pass in mixed form. Rebuild weak subjects with near-miss practice.
- 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 monthly review of your numbers and your plan
Weeks 29 to 35
Timed practice
Longer timed blocks, then full-length papers, then serious review.
- Flashcards due today (10 to 20 minutes) and a short reviewed question set
- One to two timed papers per week
- A review as long as the paper
- Practise both an open paper and a sectioned one
Weeks 36 to 39
Final stretch
Light revision, mistake notes, sleep.
- 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.
