Suggested approach

Treat each unit as a single study session: read the four short paragraphs of notes, copy the five key ideas onto a physical card, attempt the four practice questions before revealing the explanations, and self-score honestly. If you score three or four, mark the unit as "maintain" and revisit weekly. If you score two or fewer, mark as "rebuild" and schedule a return visit within seven days. Spread the unit sessions across the weeks before your test date using the six-week study planner.
