Begin with the official syllabus

Download the current syllabus and exam pattern from the examination authority. List the topics and mark them as comfortable, developing or unfamiliar. This is your starting point, not a judgement of your ability.

Plan for practice

Divide available study time between learning concepts, solving questions and reviewing mistakes. Use manageable daily targets. A plan that you can repeat is more useful than an ambitious schedule that breaks after two days.

Review the mistakes

Keep an error log with the topic, the reason for the error and the correct approach. Separate concept gaps from calculation mistakes and time pressure. Revisit the log before your next practice session.

Use mocks as feedback

Practise under the published exam conditions when possible. Review the paper before taking another mock. Adjust your next week around the weaknesses you found, and protect time for sleep and breaks.
