A Realistic Six-Month Kankor Preparation Plan

Most students begin Kankor preparation by trying to study everything at once, and stop within three weeks. A plan that works has fewer subjects per week and more repetition.

Months one and two are for coverage. Two subjects a week, no timed practice yet — the goal is only to have seen every topic on the syllabus once and to know honestly which topics frighten you.

Months three and four are for the frightening ones. Return to your weak topics with worked examples, and begin timed sets of ten questions. Ten questions in twelve minutes, twice a week, is enough to start building exam speed.

Month five is past papers. One complete paper a week under real conditions: same time of day, no notes, no phone. Then spend as long reviewing your mistakes as you spent sitting the paper. This review is where the marks actually come from.

Month six is consolidation and rest. No new topics. Two mock exams, a light review of your error notebook, and proper sleep in the final week. Students who study hardest in the last seven days almost always score below their practice average.
