How to actually use your 1 day
Maximise marks per hour — there is no time for anything but the highest-yield topics.
This 1-day intensive gives you 1 day to work through 16 weighted Post-UTME (Nigeria) topics across 2 subjects — roughly 16.0 new topics a day at every available hour of focused study. That is not a study plan in the normal sense — it is damage control, and done right it can still move your score.
Post-UTME (Nigeria) marks are not spread evenly across subjects. English and Subject-Combination carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — with only the heaviest topics in scope, everything else is deliberately out of frame. Study weight-5 topics only. Everything weight-4 and below is noise at this range — skip it without guilt.
In 1 day you cannot cover 16 topics, so this plan does not try. It targets only the handful that historically carry the most marks. The failure mode here is spreading thin. Pick the top topics and go deep enough to actually score, rather than skimming everything.
What to prioritise & cut
Study weight-5 topics only. Everything weight-4 and below is noise at this range — skip it without guilt.
Mock tests & revision
No full mocks. Spend every minute on previous-year questions for your highest-weight topics and memorise their solution patterns.
Weekly rhythm
There is no week — work in 90-minute focused blocks with short breaks, prioritising recall over re-reading.
Subject-wise topic split
Each topic shows its weightage (1–5 dots) and the concepts you'll cover. Higher-weight topics appear first.
