How to Use the Syllabus Effectively
Here is a proposed approach:

- Prioritise: Determine which topics you excel at, which you struggle with, and which are more important (based on previous papers).
- Create a timetable: Allocate time to each subject and chapter. Make sure you cover the entire course at least one month before the exams, as this will allow you plenty of review time.
- Daily study and revision: Take short notes while learning, summarising significant concepts, formulas, and terminology’s meanings. Use these for fast reviews later.
- Practice papers: Once you’ve completed the course, use model papers and previous year’s question papers to put your knowledge to the test.
- Health and routine: Getting enough sleep, eating well, and taking regular breaks all help you stay focused. The page especially encourages pupils to stay hydrated and rejuvenated.
Benefits of Following the Syllabus Closely
