Exam countdown planner
The final six weeks before exams are where grades are won or lost. This planner structures those weeks: past papers, error-log reviews, pacing drills and a calm test week.
Weeks 6-5: foundation
- One past paper per subject, marked against the scheme
- Rank lost marks into topics; build the priority list
- Two 40-minute sessions per week on the top priorities
Weeks 4-3: intensify
- Two past papers per week, fully timed
- Error log review every Sunday
- Weak topics get double time
Weeks 2-1: final push
- Full papers under strict timed conditions
- Error log review every 2-3 days
- Sleep, meals and routine protected above all
- Final week: light review, early nights, equipment checked
Tutor tip: This planner works because it replaces panic with a plan. If your child needs help executing it, a weekly one-to-one tutor provides the structure and accountability.
