What the Schedule Means for Your Preparation
The 20-day exam window with two shifts means you get natural gaps between papers. Use these gaps strategically:
If two of your subjects are on consecutive days: Focus revision on Subject 2 the evening before, after finishing Subject 1's exam. Do not start a fresh topic — only revise what you already know.
If there is a 2-3 day gap between papers: Use Day 1 for revision of the upcoming subject. Use Day 2 for one full practice paper under timed conditions. Rest the evening before the exam.
The biggest gap matters most. Find the longest gap in your personal schedule and use it for your weakest subject.
