The Power of Revision
You will forget. It is natural. Spaced repetition is the cure.
Revise yesterday's topic before starting today's.
Mock Tests Analysis
Don't just give tests. Analyze them. Why did you get it wrong?
Improvement happens in analysis, not testing.
Mistake
Giving 100 tests but analyzing none.
Handling Weak Subjects
Don't ignore them. Attack them first thing in the morning.
Use YouTube videos for difficult concepts.
Subject Priority List

|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | MSN, FON, OBG | Master Completely |
| Tier 2 | Peds, Psych, CHN | Study High Yield |
