Practice modes
- Timed mock exams: build pacing, endurance, and decision-making under time pressure.
- Topic drills: fix weak areas fast (best for spaced repetition).
- Mixed review: combine recent misses with high-yield topics to reinforce retention.
Recommended study loop
- Skim the syllabus and mark high-weight topics.
- Drill one topic at a time (untimed first, then timed).
- Review explanations immediately and keep a short miss log.
- Run a timed mock to measure pacing and coverage.
- Re-drill weak sections, then retake a fresh mixed set or mock.
Timing tip
- Use untimed sets for learning and timed sets for performance.
- If you keep running out of time, reduce re-reading and aim for a first-pass answer, then review flagged items.
