How to use the countdown well
A countdown is only useful if it changes your plan:
- Divide days by syllabus chapters — 16 days and 32 chapters means 2 chapters daily, no negotiation.
- Reserve the last 20% for revision only — for a 15-day countdown, the final 3 days are past-papers and revision, not new topics.
- Check it each morning, then close it — watching seconds tick is not studying.

Why does the countdown target 8:00 AM?
Most entry tests report in the morning, so the timer targets 8:00 AM of exam day — your real reporting time is on your admit card.
How should I plan the last week before an exam?
Stop new topics, run full past papers on alternate days, and sleep properly — recall beats late-night cramming in the final week.
