Make practice count
A small, repeatable study rhythm is a good place to start.
Use chapter counts to explore the bank, then balance your study time with the syllabus and your own weak areas. Past frequency does not guarantee future questions.
Work through one chapter across multiple years. Seeing related questions together helps you recognise how the same idea appears in different forms.
Pause when an answer surprises you. Read the written solution, revisit the concept, and return to the question when the method feels clearer.
