How to actually use your 90 days

Full coverage, one real revision cycle, and a weekly mock series — the standard serious-attempt window.

Approach
one full pass, one structured revision cycle, and a weekly mock series

This 3-month plan gives you 90 days to work through 20 weighted Post-UTME (Nigeria) topics across 2 subjects — roughly 0.22 new topics a day at 3.5–4.5 hours of focused study. That is a sustainable pace that leaves real room for revision instead of just first-time coverage.

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 — so they anchor the first pass and earn the most revision time later. Cover the entire syllabus once, then let weightage decide what earns a second and third pass. Nothing is skipped — only deprioritised.

90 days is enough to cover all 20 Post-UTME (Nigeria) topics once, revise them once more, and build a genuine mock-test habit on top. The risk is plateauing after the first pass. Block out the revision cycle in your calendar now, before mocks crowd it out.

What to prioritise & cut

Cover the entire syllabus once, then let weightage decide what earns a second and third pass. Nothing is skipped — only deprioritised.

Mock tests & revision

Topic-wise tests while you learn, then weekly full-length mocks once the first pass is done. Track sectional timing, not just the total.

Weekly rhythm

Roughly the first 60% of the timeline on the first pass, the next 25% on weight-prioritised revision, the last 15% on full mocks and an error-log review.
