BJSC Written study plan

Map the Preliminary Examination syllabus into a one-page checklist of every tested subject and sub-topic

Define the question formats and mark distribution so practice time matches the real paper

Build a 15-question diagnostic set covering the full Preliminary syllabus and sit it untimed

Record baseline accuracy per subject in a simple score log

Solve 20 timed Preliminary questions per session across the two weakest subjects identified in week 1

Write a short formula and fact sheet for each weak subject and revise it before every session

Review every wrong answer and label the cause as knowledge gap, misreading, or time pressure

Cut average time per question by practising a fixed pacing routine

Expand timed practice to all Preliminary subjects on a rotating schedule

Attempt one full-length mock paper under exam conditions

Analyse the mock by subject, accuracy, and time spent per section

Rewrite the weakest fact sheet using only items missed in the mock

Drill the five biggest gaps from week 3 until each reaches consistent accuracy

Introduce daily current-affairs review tied to Preliminary topics

Attempt a second full-length mock and compare results against week 3

Adjust the study schedule based on what the comparison shows

Map the Departmental Examination syllabus and identify how it differs in depth from the Preliminary paper

Collect and organize authoritative source material for each Departmental subject

Write condensed notes for the two highest-weight Departmental subjects

Draft 30 practice questions from your own notes to test recall

Complete condensed notes for the remaining Departmental subjects

Answer the week-5 self-written questions closed-book and score them

Practise structured written answers where the Departmental paper requires them

Review errors and update the notes where recall failed

Run alternating full-length mocks, one Preliminary and one Departmental

Apply the pacing routine from week 2 to both papers

Re-drill any Preliminary gap that reappeared in the mocks

Finalize a one-page revision sheet for each Departmental subject

Review only revision sheets, mistake logs, and fact sheets, with no new material

Attempt one final timed mock per domain and confirm scores are at or above target

Rehearse exam-day logistics, timing, and question-order strategy

Write a short pre-exam checklist and rest plan
