BCSE 3 Month Calendar


ZUKU REVIEW 3-MONTH STUDY PLAN

3-Month Study Plan for BCSE Success


Introduction
Following a rigid calendar/schedule can be challenging and hard to live up to during the busyness and changeability of school or work.
In contrast, fostering a simple and flexible habit is very useful. A super-simplified approach might go something like this:
1. Commit 1.5 - 2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week.
2. Practice testing days ( Study Mode): Give ~ 1 hour to practice testing first followed by a short break. Then spend ~1 hour looking up answers to questions you didn't know or that give you trouble.
3. Notes review days ( Top Topics): Watch suggested videos and/or read suggested notes, making your own notes as needed.
4. Click here to see Zuku's Recommended Reading - the references we use most.
5. Correctly complete 80% of the practice tests at least a month before your exam.
6. In the final quarter of your allotted study weeks, prioritize timed tests and a re-review of key notes.
