Morning: review your summaries

Start with your shortest material: formula sheets, mistake notebooks, flashcards and summary notes. These give you the highest return for the time. Go subject by subject or section by section, and for each one, close the notes and try to recall the main points before checking. This active recall shows you exactly what still needs attention.

Midday: a short practice set

Solve a small set of questions, not a full mock. Pick topics that often appear and that you feel moderately confident about. The goal is to warm up your problem-solving and confirm your methods, not to discover new weaknesses. If a question stumps you, look at the solution, note the idea, and move on without panic.

Afternoon: fix only small gaps

If you find a gap during the morning review, fix it only if it can be done quickly, for example rereading a definition or one derivation. Large chapters you skipped earlier are best left alone now. Accept that you cannot cover everything, and focus on securing what you can.

Evening: prepare logistics

Pack your admit card, ID, pens, pencils, a watch if allowed, and anything else the exam requires. Check the route and travel time to the centre. Lay out your clothes. Removing small worries tonight saves energy for the paper tomorrow. The exam study checklist can help you organise these steps.

Night: protect your sleep

Stop studying at least an hour before bed. Eat a light dinner, put your phone away, and do something relaxing like a short walk or light reading. A rested brain recalls information faster and makes fewer careless errors than a tired one, no matter how much you revised.

Quick quizzes, not new videos

If you want something light in the evening, a short quiz on familiar topics is better than watching a long new lecture. On Sikhami you can watch short learning clips, then quiz yourself or play quiz battles with friends. Keep it brief and stop while you still feel confident.

Exam morning

Wake up with enough time to eat breakfast and travel without rushing. Glance at your formula sheet if it helps, but avoid discussing difficult topics with anxious classmates outside the hall. Breathe slowly, read the instructions carefully, and start with questions you know well. Your preparation is already done; now you only need to show it.
