Study Strategy

Revision strategy: How many times should you revise before the exam?

I have completed one full reading of my entire syllabus 3 months before the exam. How should I plan my revision cycles? Is 3 full revisions enough? How do you prioritize what to revise when there is not enough time to cover everything again?

Three solid revisions is a good target, but make each one faster than the last. Revision 1: full notes. Revision 2: only highlighted/weak areas. Revision 3 (final week): one-pagers, formulae, and PYQ-flagged topics. Spaced revision (24h-7d-30d) is what actually moves things into long-term memory.
