Last-Week Study Plan Before an Exam
The short answer
A week is short, so spend most of it on revision. With 7 days and 8 hours a day, no rest day and 40 percent kept for revision, you get 4 days of learning and 3 of revision, 56 hours in all. Pick the subjects with the most marks and the weakest coverage first.

Harder subjects get more time and covered topics get less. It is a starting point: move hours around when a subject turns out easier or harder than you thought.

Frequently asked questions
Should I start new topics in the last week?
Only if they carry many marks and are quick to learn. Otherwise, strengthen what you know, which usually earns more.
How many hours should I sleep?
Aim for seven or eight. Sleep helps memory, and a night spent studying often costs more in the exam than it adds.
