Most HSC candidates lose marks not because they never learned a topic, but because they never practised recalling it under pressure.

Weeks 1-3: rebuild the base

Cover the highest-weight chapters first. End each day with ten questions from memory, closed book.

Weeks 4-6: past papers only

One full paper every alternate day, strictly timed, marked the same evening with a written error log.

Weeks 7-8: error-log revision

Revise only what you got wrong. This single habit is worth more than a fourth read of the textbook.
