Short study

Short study means high-impact sessions when you have little time — between classes, jobs, or travel.

1. The 25–5 method

• 25 minutes — one topic (one sub-unit from the syllabus).
• 5 minutes — close the book and write 5 bullet points from memory.
• Repeat up to 3 rounds per day per subject.

2. One page per topic

• After reading long notes once, try to fit the topic on one A4 page (diagrams allowed).
• Next revision: only read your one-pager.

3. Voice recall

• Explain a topic out loud in 3 minutes as if to a friend.
• Gaps = what to reopen in the PDF.

4. Pair with question papers

• Pick one past question per short session; answer in outline only (10 minutes).
• Compare with short notes on the site.

5. Weekly rhythm (example)

| Day | Focus | |-----|--------| | Mon–Wed | New topics (short sessions) | | Thu | Quick test of Mon–Wed | | Fri | Past paper snippets | | Sat | Weak topic only | | Sun | Light review or rest |

Adjust to your timetable; consistency beats long rare marathons.
