5 non-negotiables for the week before every big exam
1️⃣ Non-negotiable 1: No passive studying allowed
- Rereading, highlighting and copying notes are banned for the entire week
- Every minute of revision is active — quizzing, retrieving, explaining or practicing
2️⃣ Non-negotiable 2: One full practice exam before the real one
- Timed, closed-book, alone — at least once before exam day
- Students who skip this consistently underperform relative to their actual preparation
3️⃣ Kora AI
- Turn your study material into flashcards and quizzes before your first session of the week
- Practice active recall without spending time creating the questions yourself
4️⃣ Non-negotiable 3: Sleep every night without exception
- Seven to eight hours is not a luxury this week — it is the mechanism that locks in everything you studied
- No amount of extra cramming compensates for the cognitive damage of poor sleep
5️⃣ Non-negotiable 4: Mix topics in every session
- Studying one chapter to perfection before moving on feels productive but produces fragile knowledge
- Shuffle everything so your retrieval practice matches the unpredictability of the real exam
