Build a balanced seven-day study cycle

Start with the time you can actually protect. A study plan should fit school, work, travel and family responsibilities. This example uses short sessions, but you can adjust the duration. The purpose is a workable cycle rather than a universal timetable.

Day 1: choose one topic in each of two subjects. Read the relevant lessons and attempt the exercises before opening the answers. Record what you can explain and what remains uncertain.
Day 2: work on the first subject. Solve a few untimed problems with complete reasoning. Check your answers and correct the method.
Day 3: work on the second subject and include a reading or explanation task. Describe the idea aloud without copying the lesson wording.
Day 4: take a fresh timed practice session for your configured subject set. Follow the platform timer and avoid checking notes while answering.
Day 5: review wrong answers, correct guesses and slow questions. Choose a small number of topic-level actions rather than attempting to revise every subject at once.
Day 6: complete those actions and write one brief worked example or explanation from memory. Check it against the lesson afterwards.
Day 7: use a rest or catch-up window and decide the next cycle’s topics. Adjust an unrealistic plan rather than abandoning preparation entirely.

If you miss a session, identify what changed and reschedule the most important task. Do not stack so many tasks into the next day that the plan becomes impossible again.

Your checkpoint is concrete: can you solve or explain something that confused you earlier? Track that alongside mock results. Scores are useful signals, but the tasks behind them show what your next study session needs to accomplish.
