Key Principles for 100 Days

1. The 80/20 Rule

• 80% of marks come from 20% of topics - focus on frequently asked topics
• Identify hot topics from previous years’ papers (appear 3+ times)
• Don’t study every topic equally - prioritize high-weightage chapters

2. Consistent Beats Intense

• Study daily (even 2 hours is better than 10 hours once a week)
• Missing 1 day: Accept and get back on track (don’t quit)
• Weekly mock tests: Never skip - they build exam temperament

3. Smart Practice

• Previous years’ papers > new difficult problems (exam format familiarity)
• Mock tests > reading textbooks (exam temperament, time management)
• Previous errors > starting new topics (revision, not learning new)

4. Health & Balance

• 7-8 hours sleep essential for memory consolidation
• Physical activity (30 minutes daily) - reduces stress, improves focus
• Hydration and healthy meals - brain function depends on nutrition
• Stress management - breathing exercises, leisure time, hobby time

5. What to Avoid (100 Days)

• Don’t start new topics after October (revision only)
• Don’t compare your preparation with peers (everyone’s different)
• Don’t cram night before (you’ll forget by morning; sleep is more important)
• Don’t skip mock tests (they’re crucial for exam temperament)
• Don’t study till midnight (sleep deprivation reduces recall by 40%+)
