A preparation plan that works

1. 1

   Start with the heaviest subject, not the easiest

   For OTS that usually means English. Work through its topics one at a time rather than sampling questions at random.

2. 2

   Use past papers as your diagnostic

   Practise the past-paper mode for a subject before the general mode. It shows you the level and style examiners actually use, which recalibrates how you study everything else.

3. 3

   Let the evaluation choose your next session

   After a few sessions your topic-wise correction rates will make one weakness obvious. Go there next. Repeat until nothing is under fifty per cent.

4. 4

   Revise in 1-Liner mode in the final week

   Do not attempt new questions the night before. Sweep whole topics in reading mode instead — it covers far more ground per hour and keeps your confidence intact.
