A simple study sequence
Follow this order when you start a new topic. It helps turn reading into active learning and purposeful revision.

- Learn the conceptStudy one topic carefully before moving on.
- Solve PYQsSee how the concept appears in actual exam papers.
- Practise questionsStart topic-wise, then build up to timed sets.

- Revise and retestReturn to weak topics after a gap and check improvement.
How to get more from a study page
Keep a notebook open with three headings: new learning, questions I could not answer and next actions. After reading, close the page and explain the main ideas from memory. For PYQs, attempt the question first, identify the syllabus point, then review why the other options are incorrect. Revisit difficult questions after a few days.
