Weekly Study Template • Student Hub

Minimum daily routine (Mon–Fri)

You don't need to study 8 hours a day. You need to study consistently. These are the minimums that keep you from falling behind:

30–60 minutes of programming practice (coding problems, exercises, or building something small)
20–40 minutes of math or logic practice (MCI drills, past questions)
10 minutes reviewing that day's lecture notes or content

That's roughly 1–1.5 hours a day. Manageable. Do it consistently and you won't need to panic before tests.

Weekly plan template

This is a template — adjust it to your timetable. The goal is spreading effort across the week so no single day is overwhelming.

Monday

Review this week's lectures + do a small practice set on new content.

Tuesday

Programming exercises — focus on whatever concept was covered this week. Build something, don't just read.

Wednesday

MCI drills + DBF query practice. Midweek is a good checkpoint for math progress.

Thursday

Build a mini programming task + revisit any topics you're weak on. Don't avoid them.

Friday

Mixed revision across all active modules. Do a short self-test — write down what you know without looking at notes.

Saturday

Past paper or exam-style questions. Time yourself. Treat it like a real test environment.

Sunday

Light recap only — review your mistakes from Saturday. Plan next week. Rest intentionally.

3-day test ramp plan

When a test is 3 days away, this is the approach that works. It assumes you've been keeping up — if not, start 5–6 days out and add a "catch up on content" phase first.

Day −3 (3 days before)

Understand the topics. Go through your notes, watch short videos if needed, and create a summary sheet for each major topic. No heavy practice yet — you need clarity first.

Day −2 (2 days before)

Practice questions only. No re-reading slides. Work through as many questions as you can — past papers, textbook problems, anything with a clear answer. Check your answers and note every mistake.

Day −1 (day before)

Timed questions in test conditions. Set a timer, work through a past paper or question set without help. Then review your mistakes — only focus on the things you got wrong, not the things you already know.

The night before: Don't cram until midnight. Review your summary sheet at 9pm, get to sleep on time. Sleep is not optional — your brain consolidates memory while you sleep.

If you have very limited time

If life happened and you only have 2 hours before a test — be strategic:

Do practice first. Notes second. Attempting questions reveals exactly what you don't know. Reading notes feels complete but often isn't.
Focus on high-frequency topics — things that appear in every past paper.
Skip trying to learn brand new concepts. Consolidate what you partially know instead.
