Focus on High-Weight Topic

Start with the subject's or topic's questions that come up more in the exam.

Apply the 80/20 Rule

Remember that 80 % of questions usually come from 20 percent of the syllabus. Identify these important sections and revise them first.

Use Active Revision

Simply rereading will not help much. So close your book and try to revise definitions, formulas, and key points. Repeat them louder and write down.

Study in Time Block

Split your night into focused sessions. For example, study for 50 minutes and then take a 10-minute break. This keeps your energy levels steady.

Summarize Quickly

Create one-page summaries, flashcards, or mind maps for every topic. Fair notes help you review more topics in less time.
