How to actually use your 180 days
Build real understanding, then layer depth, two revision passes, and a structured mock series.
This 6-month plan gives you 180 days to work through 48 weighted Gaokao (China National College Entrance) topics across 3 subjects — roughly 0.27 new topics a day at 2.5–3.5 hours of focused study. That moderate daily load is the point of starting this early — you trade intensity for retention.
Gaokao (China National College Entrance) marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so they become the conceptual backbone the rest of the syllabus hangs off. Cover everything, and give weight 3–5 topics a second problem-solving pass. Low-weight topics get one solid pass — at this length they are worth keeping, not cutting.
Around 6 months lets you do far more than cover Gaokao (China National College Entrance) — you can understand it: a concept pass, a problem-solving pass, then spaced revision across all 48 topics. A multi-month plan fails by drifting in the early, low-pressure weeks. Anchor each month to a concrete checkpoint so the slack does not become a late scramble.
What to prioritise & cut
Cover everything, and give weight 3–5 topics a second problem-solving pass. Low-weight topics get one solid pass — at this length they are worth keeping, not cutting.
Mock tests & revision
Topic and sectional tests through the build phase; full-length mocks every other week from the midpoint, weekly in the final two months. Maintain an error log from the start.
Weekly rhythm
Three arcs: a concept-building phase, a depth-and-problems phase, and a revision-plus-mocks phase. Each subject gets at least two spaced passes.

Gaokao (China National College Entrance) 6-Month Plan — common questions
Is 180 days enough to prepare for Gaokao (China National College Entrance)? +
Around 6 months lets you do far more than cover Gaokao (China National College Entrance) — you can understand it: a concept pass, a problem-solving pass, then spaced revision across all 48 topics. The honest answer depends on your starting point, but this 6-month plan is built to get the most from the time you have: build real understanding, then layer depth, two revision passes, and a structured mock series.
How many hours a day does this Gaokao (China National College Entrance) 6-month plan need? +
Plan for 2.5–3.5 hours of focused study, covering about 0.27 new topics a day. Three arcs: a concept-building phase, a depth-and-problems phase, and a revision-plus-mocks phase. Each subject gets at least two spaced passes.
What should I skip if I am short on time? +
Cover everything, and give weight 3–5 topics a second problem-solving pass. Low-weight topics get one solid pass — at this length they are worth keeping, not cutting.
When should I start mock tests on this plan? +
Topic and sectional tests through the build phase; full-length mocks every other week from the midpoint, weekly in the final two months. Maintain an error log from the start.
