Notes
From experience, it's best to leave the last full month prior to exams to focus full time on doing practice papers and
revisions on weaker sections
This shows days remaining until Practice Paper start date, i.e. 1 month before exams, to make sure you have sufficient
time to cover all study materials, leaving the last month purely for doing practice papers

You should be conservative here and put in the realistic amount of effective study hours you can do in a week given
your life/work commitments. On average, try to aim for 15-20 hours per week for full time job. If you're a full time
student you can obviously start studying later (or study less hours per week and start today). If you've a demanding job
and family commitments, just start studying earlier!

Study hours seems OK, please fill in the detailed schedule in the next sheet to cross check
