1. Fix the scope before the schedule
Start with the official syllabus that applies to your intended examination period. Create separate Paper 1 and Paper 2 lists, then mark each topic as not started, learning, retrieving, or timed-practice ready.
2. Plan in repeatable blocks
Give each study block one job: learn a concept, retrieve it without notes, review a recorded gap, or practise under time. A small block you can repeat is more useful than an ambitious calendar you abandon.
3. Use a weekly evidence review
At the end of each week, count topics covered, concepts successfully retrieved after a delay, recurring errors, and timed sets completed. Move time toward repeated gaps without dropping broad coverage.
4. Reserve integration time
As the examination approaches, combine topics in mixed sets and full-paper timing. Keep an error log that names the underlying rule or reasoning step rather than merely recording the correct option.
