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!
