How the planned hours split
536 h learn · 478 h revise · 110 h tests
Marks are expected marks next paper; full prep is the hours to prepare every chapter fully at these settings. Planned hours in the plan above, all phases. A further 110 h of full mocks, their reviews and the must-know sweep cover every subject.
Asked in every paper, 2017 to 2026
47 chaptersThe core asked every year: these chapters had at least one question in each of the 10 papers, most marks first. Across chapters, 67 of 183 topics were asked in 8 or more papers and again in 2025 or 2026; they produced 55% of the questions. The plan teaches them first and never cuts them.
