The weekly split

The goal is not to study everything. It is to remove avoidable negative marks.

  • Week 1: recent PYQs and subject weightage.
  • Week 2: weak subjects and repeated topics.
  • Week 3: full mocks plus deep review.
  • Final week: light mocks, revision sheets, and no new source sprawl.

What to prioritise

Use data to decide. Subjects with high weight and high volatility need more active practice than passive reading.

FAQ

How many mocks in the last month?

Enough to practise stamina, not so many that review becomes shallow. Deep review matters more than mock count.

Should I read new books now?

No. Use PYQs, notes, mocks, and primary-source current affairs revision.
