The short answer

Build a study plan around your current understanding and the official exam requirements. Leave time for revision and practice, review mistakes regularly and adjust your targets as you learn.

01

Break the journey into phases

Organise your plan around understanding topics, revisiting them and practising under relevant conditions. The length of each phase should reflect your starting point.

02

Plan reviews, not just targets

Set aside time to assess what is working. Adjust your next week using practice results, difficult topics and the time you actually have.

03

Keep support close

Speak to a teacher or counselor when your workload stops being manageable. A plan should help you work consistently and leave room for rest.

Check the official details

Use these starting points for current information, then confirm programme-specific requirements directly with the institution.

Make it personal.

Use these ideas as a starting point. A conversation about your own situation can help you decide what to do next.
