An O/L revision plan for the last six weeks

Weeks 6 and 5: find the gaps

Sit one full past paper in each of your subjects, timed, without notes. Mark it honestly. The units where you lost the most marks are your list for the next four weeks.

• Write each weak unit on its own line, with the subject next to it.
• Put the units that carry the most marks first.

Weeks 4 and 3: fix the biggest gaps

Work through your list from the top. For each unit, go back to the lesson, then do the past paper questions on that unit only, until you can answer them without help.

Keep each study block short: 40 to 50 minutes, then a break. Two focused blocks beat an evening of half-reading.

Week 2: papers, under exam conditions

Sit a full paper in each subject again, timed, in one go. Compare your marks with week 6. Spend the rest of the week on whatever still loses you marks.

The last week: rest and rehearse

No new topics. Read through your notes on the weak units, check the exam timetable for each paper's day and time, and sleep properly. A rested mind recalls more than a crammed one.
