90-Day Study Plan for a Competitive Exam
The short answer
Ninety days at 6 hours a day, with a rest day every week and a quarter of the days for revision, gives 12 rest days, 58 days of learning and 20 for revision. That adds up to 468 study hours, of which 120 go to revision.

Frequently asked questions
Is 6 hours a day too much?
It is for many people. Plan for the hours you can keep up for 90 days, because a smaller plan you follow beats a larger one you drop.
Should I revise only at the end?
Revise regularly as well, not only at the end. The revision share in the tool is a block of days kept for it, and a little revision each week keeps the learning fresh.
