📈 Study Strategy & Best Practices

1. Daily Targets: Set a realistic goal, such as finishing one PDF per day or revisiting two previously covered topics.
2. Active Recall: After reading a PDF, close it and try to write down key points from memory. This self-testing boosts retention.
3. Mind Maps & Flowcharts: Convert text-heavy notes into visual aids. These are especially helpful for pathways in Biochemistry and drug classification in Pharmacology.
4. Group Study: Explain concepts from a PDF to a peer or group. Teaching is one of the best ways to learn deeply.
5. Error Log: Maintain an “Error Log” in your study tracker. If a concept from a PDF trips you up during MCQs, note it down for targeted revision.
6. Regular Revision: Use our Weekly Revision Schedule template to revisit HSQs and MCQ-related notes every Sunday.
7. Stay Updated: We update all notes and PDFs every quarter. Check back regularly to download the latest versions reflecting syllabus changes or new guidelines.
