i exam well (hopefully). have done similar exams in the past and it turned out well.
unfortunately it's too many topics for me to work through in just 6 months so i gotta cut some losses, also goes for repeating. if you can be more specific i would be glad but otherwise thanks for the advice.
It's hard to be more specific without more specificity.
But if you can get your hands on a practice exam, or at least practice exams for the topics covered, then by trying those you could identity the areas you most need improvement on.
i meant more specific about the frequency of repeating the material. never got down the timing right for myself and often i find that repeating is so boring and exhausting compared to learning for the first time.
2 or 3 sessions a week. Not longer than 2 hours. Habits are easier to form earlier in the day.
Take the time you have, take 2 weeks off the end, in the remainder of time divide each session according to how far along it is and spend the elapsed time % on revision. Obviously don't be pathological, one minute of revision is useless. Like at 3 months in 50% new stuff 50% revision.
Don't revise by just rereading stuff, pick problems to do in samples of topics already selected, or practice exams etc. Old uni profs might send you some practice exams and stuff if asked.
