Key takeaways
- Stop starting new topics in the last month
- Revise from your own short notes and formula sheets
- Take mocks at the same time of day as your exam slot
The last month is about consolidating what you already know. New material adds anxiety, not marks.
Weeks 1 and 2: close the gaps
List the topics where your mock accuracy is lowest and give each one a focused revision session. Re-solve the previous year questions you got wrong the first time.
Week 3: full mocks
Take a full mock every other day at the time of your exam slot. On the days in between, analyse the mock and revise only what it exposed.
- Time each section
- Mark guesses and check them later
- Note silly mistakes separately
Week 4: light revision and rest
Read formula sheets and short notes, sleep on time, and keep your exam-day documents ready. A rested mind recalls far more than a tired one.
Practise with exam-level mocks.
