## How the plan is made

1. **Days left** are counted from today to the exam date.
2. The last part of that time (25% by default) is kept for **revision and full mock tests**.
3. In the remaining learning time, your weekly rest days are removed to get real **study days**.
4. Topics left ÷ study days gives your **daily target**.

## Tips to stick to the plan

- **Start with high-weight topics** from the last 3 to 5 years' papers.
- **Revise every Sunday** what you studied in the week, even on a rest day; 30 minutes is enough.
- **Take a full mock every week** from the start, not only in the revision phase, and log it in the [mock test tracker](https://saraltools.in/mock-test-tracker/).
- **Recalculate weekly:** update topics done here so the daily target stays honest.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much time should I keep for revision?

For most competitive exams, keep the last 20% to 25% of your time for revision and mock tests, and at least two to three full revisions of important topics.

### Should I take a day off every week?

One lighter or rest day a week helps avoid burnout over long preparation. The planner lets you choose 0, 1 or 2 rest days a week.

### What if I fall behind?

Update 'topics already done' every week. The daily target recalculates for the days left, so you always know the new pace you need.

### Topics or chapters?

Use whatever unit you track: chapters, topics, units or video lectures. Just keep it consistent.
